[QUOTE="William18, post: 609664, member: 38439"] See but this just isn't going to happen. Once again it is about money. Scotland, Wales and Ireland aren't huge countries but they can sell out their stadiums and probably draw some interest. Scotland v England would probably get higher tv ratings than England vs Georgia. Georgia just don't provide anything to the tournament in the way of revenue streams. Correct me if I'm wrong but the 6 Nations is basically run by its member countries, isn't it? They are not going to support a system where one of them could get relegated. This is why I think a European Cup would be desirable. You could probably still have the 6 Nations and European Cup in the same year provided that one set of international tours were removed from the calendar. [/QUOTE]
