[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1066788, member: 74121"] The Italian union's president, Innocenti, says Italy are in no danger to be removed and that changes to the 6N lineup would require unanimity from all unions and a 15 year transition period!

"Treviso works at a higher level than the Zebras, it is Fir's duty to bring the Parma franchise to the same level. And I don't see why to give up on equals, when there are so many athletes born abroad but with Italian roots who want to play with us." Yet another sign that Innocenti's priority is to ramp up the project player side of things to acquire players developed by other unions. As seen by them hosting a friendly with their A team against Romania A this month, one day after another project player qualifies on residency. In a similar vein Laporte, who has previously made noises about possible expansion of the 6N said in reply to a plea from Rugby Europe that the 6N unions won't expand and they will "protect" the tournament. Almost as if Georgia and Romania are a virus. :( [URL unfurl="true"]http://rugbyunion.cz/cs/article/2193[/URL] All of which means I say ciao to Italy for much the same reasons I said cheerio to Scotland.
