[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 749871, member: 55446"] No: 1. Fixture congestion is a real problem, adding teams wouldn't work 2. Breaking down into pools is not an alternative. England-Wales, England-Ireland etc. is a guaranteed fixture once a year because of the 6N. Nobody wants less tier one intra-hemisphere rugby than there already is. 3. Promotion-relegation can mess up any kind of progress in Italy/Scotland 4. Six Nations is an elite tournament, it shouldn't be opened up because one team looks slightly promising for a small amount of time. But this is the ideal: A global tier two tournament could be a good idea. Perhaps a rugby-equivalent of the "Euros" during the Lions tour. [/QUOTE]
