[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 894815, member: 56232"] Some sort of incentive system would need to be in place but the current system just isn't sustainable. Whilst not as bad as the French, the clubs hold way too much sway over how players are used. I get that they are paying the wages but flogging the players as they do along with England just isn't doing the game in England any good. It's not even like all this extra money is helping them dominate the likes of Pro 14 teams, who seem able to rotate players more despite having a greater proportion involved in international duty. Ultimately if the worst comes to the worst, I think the RFU should ram through some form of rule to introduce a central contract light system, maybe with a provision that players cannot be involved in club level games in the rest week in the 6N or after the likes of a Lions tour. If the Irish and Kiwis can make some sort of system work then there is no reason we can't. It's a matter of will. [/QUOTE]
