[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 940040, member: 13611"] Is the league in danger of expanding too quickly? The teams will need to bring in a lot of talent from abroad to fill their rosters. How will they afford it because crowd figures don't seem high nor, I imagine, are TV rights and sponsorship deals. Perhaps relocating teams who are underperforming might be more prudent than expanding too fast, too soon. I can't find a link online but in today's Sunday Independent, it was reported that the IRFU pocketed €250000 for entering the provinces in the Cara Cup alongside New England Free Jacks. It was also suggested they made overtures to RUNY about getting involved somehow. If true, it shows the IRFU and SRU (through the Old Glory DC deal) are keeping a keen eye on the upstart competition.
