[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 815326, member: 43400"] To which NH teams do you refer ... essentially England and France. I can think of a few NH sides that would get more benefit from a global season aligned with the southern hemisphere. In Canada, rugby is a summer sport, because it has to be (i'd imagine that Russia and Georgia face similar issues) ... I doubt that any of them are going to welcome the news that they need to be outside playing in November/December/January, in -30 to -40 degree conditions. Yes, sometimes changes are needed for the good of the game globally, that aren't going to necessarily benefit a particular union. [/QUOTE]
