[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 725667, member: 40658"] Your argument is fundamentally flawed. The NFL is just a single tournament played by US teams. If you want to make a comparison, then you'll have to use it with an equivalent in Rugby, and that would most probably be something like the Currie Cup or ITM Cup which is played in one country with that country's teams. The teams like the NFL's Ravens/Cowboys/49ers/Packers would be the equivalent of the Bulls/Cheetahs/Lions/Sharks if I take the Currie Cup as an example which has a North and South Conference like the NFL's Conference system. But that's where it stops. You can't try to implement a Draft system for the entire World Rugby Organisation and it's affiliates, when World Rugby doesn't have much say about the Country and how they work with their local teams/clubs/franchises. And I can tell you now, SANZAR nations, as well as the 6 Nations participating countries will not go for this silly idea of a draft. It will never work. [/QUOTE]
