[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 975777, member: 50079"] It's a good question. Been this way for I would say 5 years now, but the way it works is you have 20 teams in the Challenge. 18 of them are drawn from your traditional Pro 14, Premiership and Top 14, and then two can qualify from what's called the continental shield, essentially Europe's third tier which includes teams from Italy (not Zebre or Treviso), Romania, Russia, Spain, Georgia, Germany and Belgium. So the two teams this year are Enisey from Russia and Calvisano from Italy. Russians always get a team in I'm fairly sure and it's normally Enisey and Connacht went to play Krasny Yar I think a few years back. [/QUOTE]
