[QUOTE="DC, post: 158546"] You bring up good points. If young, home grown players are good enough, they'll break through. Cutting the number of foreign players in the Premiership will reduce the standard and probably have a knock on effect of less revenue being generated. A problem which prevails at the moment is that international players can miss a chunk of the season through games clashing. That needs to be eradicated. If a global calender is implemented we can then see all the best players on the pitch at all times. It is my belief that a pan-European league in conjunction with a global season can increase the profile and revenue of pro rugby exponentially when compared with the current situation.
