[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 830115, member: 43400"] I'd be surprised if there's an equivalent competition anywhere in the world that actually makes money. Yes, rugby from the grass roots up needs the financial support to develop the players and to look after them, or else they will choose other paths/options, and it will effect the quality of the top echelon of players, due to lack of competition/quality of talent vying for places, but it's a question of who pays. Perhaps as the end beneficiaries are the national side, and the premiership clubs, some sort of shared financial responsibility would be the answer. [/QUOTE]
