[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 853706, member: 13611"] This is great in theory and I'd love to see it work. In practice it wouldn't. Say it was a two tier league with promotion and relegation. It's likely that the German, Georgian, Italian, American and Canadian teams would be in tier 2 (along with the likes of Connacht, Dragons and Edinburgh). Which TV company would pay for the rights to that division? Which sponsors would get involved? How many fans and media outlets would be energized by this concept? With no fans, no money and no financing, the second tier would fail and quickly dissolve. A single European Super League is the way to expand into these markets. [/QUOTE]
