[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1004280, member: 45598"] The amount of negative comments in here is surprising. Squad rotation is going to remain a part of this league for sure, it's an 18 game regular season with each team playing 6 European games as well, if you're not rotating internationals heavily you're putting them in danger. It shouldn't be criticised, it has to be done. (I think a lot of this is ignorance to how good some second string sides are, few enough prem teams would turn away the likes of Ryan Baird, Craig Casey and Michael Lowry) What this will do is bring new contenders to the league which is desperately needed. The best years for the Pro14 as a product was Glasgow, Connacht and Scarlets bookending Leinster wins, as a result the 2018 win was a huge deal in its own right. (Although the sense Leinster or their fans don't value Pro14 wins is totally misguided) A dominant team makes any league look worse from the outside. So yeah, I wont be devastated if a SA team stop the six in a row for Leinster but I won't like it either. [/QUOTE]
