SO, what would you rather have....no international rugby at all between World Cups? Oh well, there goes the global expansion of the game, because you can't achieve this with European Club rugby. No-one outside of Europe (other than rugby tragics like me) really gives fig about Harlequins winning the Premiership, or Leinster winning the Heineken Cup.. they just don't care.
Perhaps you would like the June tests dumped, and just have the SH teams come to the NH, and fill your coffers up, while we are left to scrap over the leftovers?
Likewise there is a limited number of people who care about who wins superrugby, the ITM cup, the currie cup etc.
However I like the idea of tours but imo it should alternate.. e.g 2012 - NH teams go south, no tours around november by SH up north, 2013 - No june tests, SH teams come up north in the autumn tests.
This way the players actually get a rest, this year it would be the SH teams get the post season off, next year the NH teams get the post season off.
