[QUOTE="Croket66, post: 552307, member: 58839"] This is my idea : Heineken Cup with 16 teams (french top 5, english top 5, Pro12 top 5 and the winner of Amlin Cup) Why ? [LIST] [*]teams like Zebre haven't level to play H Cup [*]these teams allow other team of the pool to acces 1/4 final as "best 2th" [*]qualif' as "best 2th make no sense [*]H Cup need to be more elitist [/LIST] Amlin Cup with 32 teams [LIST] [*]An european competition should welcome more european nations (Spain, Romania + Georgia, Russia, Portugal) [*]french and english teams will not growl because all Top14 and Premiership teams will play an european competition [*]italians Super10 teams will not growl because they will have their 4 teams again [/LIST] Well, thanks to final 2011-2012 rankings, and ERC ranking to make pools ([URL]http://www.ercrugby.com/eng/ranking.php[/URL]), this is what can be these competitions [COLOR=#008000][B]Heineken Cup[/B][/COLOR][TABLE="class: grid, width: 800"] <tbody>[TR] [TD][COLOR=#008000][B]POOL 1[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#008000][B]POOL 2[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#008000][B]POOL 3[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#008000][B]POOL 4[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Leinster Rugby (IRL)[/TD] [TD]Stade Toulousain (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Biarritz Olympique (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Munster Rugby (IRL)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Harlequins (ENG)[/TD] [TD]Leicester Tigers (ENG)[/TD] [TD]Northampton Saints (ENG)[/TD] [TD]ASM Clermont (FRA)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]RC Toulon (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Ospreys (WAL)[/TD] [TD]Llanelli Scarlets (WAL)[/TD] [TD]Glasgow Warriors (SCO)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Exeter Chiefs (ENG)[/TD] [TD]Montpellier HRC (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Castres Olympique (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Saracens RFC (ENG)[/TD] [/TR] </tbody>[/TABLE] [COLOR=#0000ff] [/COLOR][B][COLOR=#0000ff]Amlin Cup[/COLOR] [/B][TABLE="class: grid, width: 800"] <tbody>[TR] [TD][COLOR=#0033cc][B]POOL 1[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#0033cc][B]POOL 2[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#0033cc][B]POOL 3[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#0033cc][B]POOL 4[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Cardiff Blues (WAL)[/TD] [TD]Ulster Rugby (IRL)[/TD] [TD]Stade Français (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Edinburgh Rugby (SCO)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Worcester Worriors (ENG)[/TD] [TD]Zèbre (ITA)[/TD] [TD]Newport Gwent Dragons (WAL)[/TD] [TD]London Irish (ENG)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Union Bordeaux-Bègles (FRA)[/TD] [TD]SU Agen (FRA)[/TD] [TD]London Welsh (ENG)[/TD] [TD]Aviron Bayonnais (FRA)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Rugby Mogliano (ITA)[/TD] [TD]RCM Timisoara (ROM)[/TD] [TD]Melrose RFC (SCO)[/TD] [TD]CDUL Lisboa (POR)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][COLOR=#0033cc][B]POOL 5[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#0033cc][B]POOL 6[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#0033cc][B]POOL 7[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [TD][COLOR=#0033cc][B]POOL 8[/B][/COLOR][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]London Wasps (ENG)[/TD] [TD]USA Perpignan (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Bath Rugby (ENG)[/TD] [TD]Gloucester RFC (ENG)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Benetton Treviso (ITA)[/TD] [TD]Sale Sharks (ENG)[/TD] [TD]Connacht Rugby (IRL)[/TD] [TD]Racing-Métro 92 (FRA)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]FC Grenoble (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Rugby Calvisano (ITA)[/TD] [TD]Stade Montois (FRA)[/TD] [TD]Cavalieri I Prato (ITA)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Gernika RT (ESP)[/TD] [TD]Armia Tbilissi (GEO)[/TD] [TD]Rugby Rovigo (ITA)[/TD] [TD]Enisey-STM (RUS)[/TD] [/TR] </tbody>[/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
