> The various sports federations (especially in football) of Galiza, Brerizh, Euskal Herria and Catalunya are the most claimants in wanting their situation to be made official and to be able to compete in international tournaments with their national teams. What if the solution is a multi-national confederation format? That is to say, leagues in which the professional categories are played by Galician, Breton, Basque and Catalan teams.
Cornish Pirates and Camborne RFC are clubs from Cornwall, The intention of their inclusion in the Ligue GalBrEusCat is that this competition can be a springboard for mutual development, as the RFU Championship teams face a very tough barrier preventing their promotion to the Premiership Rugby, that hinders their development.
In the first seanos (4 or 5), before starting to compete in Europe, the GBEC teams from the Top-14 or RFU would be the espoirs (e) or academy teams. After that time, club would leave the Top-14 and RFU Championship permanently.
