[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 866389, member: 74121"] There is only speculation at the moment about format. One suggestion that came from what I'd consider a better source is that Glasgow and Edinburgh will be in the same group. So they will play each other twice, but will also play a third time as part of a plan to increase local derbies. I'd imagine something similar will happen for the Welsh. For example, you play the other Welsh side in your group twice, the Welsh in the other group twice and the non-Welsh sides in the other group just once. Then you can still have your Judgemet Days which I'm sure they'll be very keen to preserve. That would be 12 + 4 + 5 = 21 games. Plus playoffs. Again, just speculation at this stage. The Scottish union is pretty much penniless and has utterly failed to really even attempt to penetrate any Scottish cities outside of Edinburgh and Glasgow. They are doing alright in Stirling and Ayrshire but neither area / town is big enough for a club in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
