[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 1069895, member: 56767"] The French would have their head on the chopping block for that. French budgets far outstrip anything on these islands. I can see yer mans point; obviously a uniform fixed limit salary cap would be dismissed by the SRU and IRFU out of hand. Just because the Welsh regions cannot get their house in order doesn't mean they should be allowed to drag everyone else down with them. I'd certainly be in favour of a salary cap that is run as a percentage of turnover of the province/club in question. There are a few "sugar daddies" paying some of some player's salaries for the Irish provinces - and IMO becoming reliant on that is a daft place to end up in. So ruling it out now is better for long term health of the game. If it means we miss out on the marquee player, so be it. [/QUOTE]
