[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 890975, member: 56232"] You think Italy bring more to the table than doubling the amount of fixtures in England, Wales, Ireland and France/Scotland would bring? I doubt it. I've already said my proposal is 2 4 nation tournaments with home and away games which would be more functional than any previous iteration. Little bit of trivia, Italy have NEVER finished in the top half of the 6N and have more wooden spoons than everyone else combined. I'd say if you argue finance then 2 tiers with 4 teams would raise more. If you argue exposure of T2 teams to T1 teams then the same. Fact is, Italy contribute nothing to the tournament except seeing who can rack up the biggest points difference. All these games do is destroy the confidence of Italian players knowing that, at best, they might scrape 2 wins and not get a wooden spoon. For literally every other nation Italy's best is a failure.
