Boudjellal does actually talk a lot of sense, it just comes out too often the wrong way. We all know the TOP 14, is too long, too many matches but somehow i can't see it changing, this competion is very different from anything that exists in the SH. The players come to play here for various reasons, but what ever they are they certainly deserve everything they earn as the bodytakes a hammering over 10 /11 months. The idea of having 12 teams is good but the Pro D2 would not like this, almost every year there is one team that runs away with the ***le, Lyon, Pau etc. thus leaving another promo place. The problem is 2 clubs go down, the finance is the big bug bearer you go down the sponsors walk out and the finance gets hits hard. The European leaugue is a great idea but woud it work, could everyone afford just the travel and what it involves, The Pro 12 teams would struggle except maybe the Irish teams. I personnally love the TOP 14 it is a long war with a battle every week, some people like fast running rugby and no or little forward contest each to their own i guess. With the season so long and intense the guys are prone to more and more injuries, so the first step would be lessen the games, easier said than done, with the battle between the FFR and the LNR never ceasing the first steps would be the hardest, but whether this happens i have my doubts. As i said above Boudjellal does talk a lot of sense and his ideas which have been quoted by others previously are worth digesting whether anything becomes of it that is an entirely different kettle of fish
