[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 598143, member: 48703"] This is unbelievably deluded. I bet you're one of those only watch international types that are so prominent in Wales these days. You might not care if a side that is **** (ie Zebre) and contributes little if anything to the competition gets entitled to a disproportionate amount of the profit generated by others. But the teams that do contribute said quality and money to the product are just a little but ticked off about this. Also you might not care that the Ospreys get crippled for a few fixtures a year through internationals in the Pro12, but the people involved in running the club and need to make some money out of the business won't be happy about it when a side that contributes bugger all to Wales or the league like the Dragons gets the same funding. Easy not to care when you're not involved in watching or part of a team. I wonder whether you would "not care" if a member of the company you worked for got paid as much as you despite being the ****test employee in the company and contributing little to it? Another anyone on this thread who mentions "it's just so teams can get their sides to win" is talking out their arse. This has been going on years, English threatened to pull out along with the French the year they had 3 of the 4 semi finalists in 2007.
