[QUOTE="dragos03, post: 484624, member: 44724"] I think the IRB should work on creating some kind of league that would put together the best teams of the lesser championships. That could include Italian, Romanian, Georgian, Spanish and Portuguese teams, let's say 12 teams in total. The winner of this league would go into the Heineken Cup and 6 other teams in the Amlin. I don't think the Russians could be involved though, due to distances and weather. Also, why is this trend on rugby forums to overestimate the strength of Russian rugby? They did improve strongly a few years ago but now they seem to be on decline. For example, yesterday Russia lost 0-25 at home with Romania in the ENC. And no local television broadcasted the game, which was played on a empty stadium. This shows quite a lack of interest in the sport. By contrast, Georgia for example gets full stadiums at similar events. [/QUOTE]
