[QUOTE="guardian_of_the_stone_age, post: 144264"] The only problem with having a six nations setup with the PI's, Japan and Argentina is the travel problems it will create with travelling to South Africa. They seem the odd team out here, with all the other sides being from the Pacific rim. If South Africa dropped out of the 3N and joined the Northern Hemisphere 6N, the tournament would be much better suited geographically. By doing this, you could also open up the possibility of a North American side entering the competition, comprising of both the USA and Canada, at least until they can raise themselves up to the level where they can compete against the top tier nations independently. This would be harsh on South Africa but would also be far better for developing rugby in the pacific, especially if it tied in with some sort of Super Rugby competition. [/QUOTE]
