[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 541265, member: 40658"] That won't work! 1. It won't be called Autumn Internationals in the SH in November, it will be called Summer Internationals. the guys will die out of heat exhaustion, playing at temperatures above 30 degrees celcius. 2. How do you expect the teams to test themselves against good opposition who plays different styles and are being reffed with different interpretations? 3. There is and intra-hemisphere competition in the SH, called the Rugby Championship... 4. Why should teams ranked 1st, 2nd and 4th respectively in the IRB rankings lower their standards to accomodate the minority? This won't improve Rugby, it will amateurize it again. 5. teams like Samoa has now proven they can beat top opposition teams, to prove that it wasn't just a flash in the pan, they need to now do it on a constant basis, and in doing so, they will get more matches against the big guns.
