[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 526904, member: 22777"] Hardly surprising, and maybe a little bit disappointing, but considering the current climate of European rugby it makes perfect sense. Premier rugby seems hell bent on pulling out of the Heineken Cup and have essentially said as much with their BT deal. The LNR on the other hand are much more undecided. From what I can see they're far more in favour of staying in the ERC competitions albeit with slightly re-jigged qualification and financial distributions. No harm in the ERC buddying up to them by giving them a final. In the long run, it could do a lot more good for Italian rugby (by keeping the HC in place) and European club rugby as a whole, than playing the final in Rome or Milan. [/QUOTE]
