[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 792709, member: 70871"] Didn't say anything about mergers. What a ghastly idea. Nobody in T14 wants their club to merge. This is why the idea of provinces in this country will never work. No one wants it. Can't get past the club culture. The big clubs will get bigger as they attract a larger fan base and expand their revenue. Boujdellal has also talked about a 'world cup of clubs'. I like his idea of the 4 European semi finalists v 4 Super Rugby semi finalists. Tasty prospect rugby wise. Toulouse Toulon Racing have started playing games v SR teams. This is what the bigger clubs are interested in as an area for development. This is the way forward for the T14 clubs. They're exporting the game to Hong Kong as well as looking for private investors (Bordeaux Toulouse Racing are) and expand their brand and the game. They're moving as far away from the union - they know they stand to gain nothing from more entanglements with FFR.
