[QUOTE="higgik, post: 898610, member: 74704"] Maybe best way would be to combine Pro14 and AP into a British and Irish League, moving the Italians to the Top14 and move the Saffas out back to Currie Cup. Start with the current 10 Celtic teams, London Irish, London Scottish (as part of SRU), and the remaining AP 11 and Bristol. 2 conferences of 12 each with 3 groups of 4, play home and away in group, (6 matches), home or away v one of the other groups in conference, (4 matches), home or away v one group of other conference (4 matches). Each group winner and best runner up from each conference into play offs, (5 weeks) This gives a maximum total of 19 weeks. Added to 11 weeks of internationals and the 10 weeks of euros, would give a total season of 40 weeks. A typical international would play a maximum of 11 internationals, 18 B&I League, 7 Euro, = 36 matches. [/QUOTE]
