You asked the question if not a euro super league then how....
I think though a minor point I made in my first post comes up though. How is the European Champions Cup not a de facto super league? The groups are a tiny bit smaller but apart from garunteed sports for the teams and who they play it's almost the same thing.
Super rugby is a tier above club rugby which doesn't exist in England or France - any such SR style competition would involve condensing the English (and French, possibly/probably/whatever) premiership squads into a smaller number of teams - let's say 6-8. If we were to follow the SR formula as it stands - we would be looking at putting the best players from the Prem into 5 teams.
I ask again Rats how can this be possible with present club ownership in France and England?
Fan base would be difficult to assess.
I don't think I could support a Midlands team.
How would you divide England?
North, Midlands, South west, South East?
Ennit,
Lancashire won't support Yorkshire, and vice versa.
Bristol won't support Bath and vice versa.
I don't have six fingers and webbed feet so i can't support the East Midlands.
It might have worked when professionalism came in but pro clubs are too ingrained now.
