yeh....really too bad. Was looking forward to this..
I know, especially since I'm French (!!!!), players already play too much as it is, but it would be really cool if we could have some of the best European clubs go up against some of the best SR teams in 3-match series every once in a while, test match style.
Saracens, Clermont, Leinster, Toulouse....against NZ/AUS/SA clubs...
