[QUOTE="edinburgh_gunner, post: 97436"] The Pro-Scottish sides have central contracts and it's a disaster. Every time there's an international Edinburgh will field a scratch side and more often than not we lose. It's the same for Munster and Leinster, and it's devalued the Celtic League as the teams that are probably the best in the league with their international players won't win the league because of those 5 or so games a year they're without their top players. I don't know what the RFU are playing at, it doesn't really work up here and I doubt it'll work down there either. As for structuring, the season has to be made shorter. Instead of the autumn tests, why not have 3 different test matches throughout the year, and schedule it so that it does not fall on a domestic date. I think that all teams really should get a free weekend a couple of times a season, to allow players to rest. The leagues should go on a shut down over the 6 nations, aswell, and have the seasons finnish later or start earlier. [/QUOTE]
