[QUOTE="Jack Reacher, post: 722649, member: 70405"] Agree, NZ will be the last union (possibly behind England) to amend this rule due to the perceived 'lure of the jersey'. It will get to a point where our star players of 5-10 years time will simply force their hand a change will have to be made. This will force an international season, Feb to October with two international breaks (6N and RC in April then an international series in Sept). Its not too hot in Europe to play during Summer, they play in May and August already anyhow. If you look at the last 10-15 years of NZ fixtures we play more games away from home now anyway (3 int series, 3 RC, then 7-8 away) [/QUOTE]
