[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 808508, member: 58362"] Have they though? By what measure? Until the last Six Nations, I would have said that at least the thumpings are a much more rare occurrence than in their early days, but they took three heavy defeats in the last tournament and failed to win a game. I'd imagine that their ranking is somewhere near where it was when they were brought in, their domestic league seems to be struggling at the moment and they still rely on foreign born players to hold their team together and remain vaguely competitive. My point is that many people seem to see inclusion in the X Nations as being the silver bullet for any developing European team, but nobody seems to be explaining what it will achieve in anywhere near a compelling enough manner to make a case for taking action.
