[QUOTE="St George, post: 615143, member: 69634"] I cannot believe that some posters actually think that any league that has relegation for one group and not the other would work. The current crises has come about due to a perceived belief that the system was unfair, so how the hell would relegation for English but not Welsh (or Scots) be acceptable? Totally absurd. I totally despair at the amateurish way people wish to run rugby domestically. IMO the proposal to have the major Eurocomp run by the respected 6N, with the involvement of Fira, would bring about a rise in professionalism within the non-6N group. Hopefully, decades down the line, the quality of non-6N rugby would improve to a level whereby any thoughts of a true Euro league could be established in the same way as football. The proposed situation where the English are not involved, will not be good for either sides. But the English have the capacity to absorb some temporary hardship, whereas i doubt the Welsh, Scots and Italians could. For the Welsh in particular, this episode has been disastrous. I find it hard to believe as some suggest,that the WRU have taken their stance so as to facilitate the end of the regions so they can start again. Its a massive gamble with rugby in Wales which could have a huge impact on rugby as a whole across Europe. The viability of any Rabo league without a quality Welsh contingent could see that league destroyed also. I fear for rugby now for the first time, and i see the only light being an agreement along the lines as suggested by the RFU. And if France are the only Union objecting unless Fira are involved, then surely their involvement in a junior capacity can be acheived. Happy New Year to all and wishing a comprise is sorted soon.
