This league actually exist nowadays but it is amateur as all the leagues so it just a matter of turning it pro. And for competing for our top players with europe squads i don't know, i think most of the players will stay here for as long as they can, but they will eventually go to make some money to europe, there's no way we could compete with europe salaries but it's the same way in football and we still manage to have good young players that come out of the clubs every year so i hope it will be the same with rugby.
