[QUOTE="Boy, post: 64333"] Rugby can't possibly follow football's lead and have regular midweek games. The physical demands of rugby simply wouldn't allow it without a drastic increase in the salary cap and wage size. To be honest, I think most people would rather the cup was scrapped rather than have the Anglo-Welsh tournament. If they got rid of the cup it would promote the end of season play-offs, which still haven't caught the imagination. Of course, they should then recognise the No.1 placed team, like the Minor Premiership ***le in NRL or regular season champions in Super League. Keep the Powergen Trophy for Division 1 and below, by all means, but I don't think the Premiership needs it, especially if every club is involved in one of the European competitions. [/QUOTE]
