[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 894880, member: 45598"] Doing that would kill English rugby, I reckon the rest of the world would just stop playing England and English teams if they did that. The problem is the Premiership, as RR said the pro 14 is thriving despite a huge gulf in wealth, why would those unions give more up to save the Premiership and English rugby? The only thing English rugby as a whole (RFU and the English LNR, forgotten the name) has control over is their league and internationals. If England were to stop going on summer tours their only hope of getting SH teams to Twickers is sharing the gate. If they tried to push for a knock out European Cup I'd imagine we'd just go on without them and it'd probably lead to a European super rugby which would be a better product than the prem, earn more money and see the best English players go to France, and any player who is Irish, Welsh, Scottish or Italian qualified move too. The Premiership is the problem this season, although the Lions tour is the bigger problem and I'd happily see it go but I'm in the minority there, their choice is get rid of the cap or make it bigger at the risk of stunting the development of young English talent, I don't think that would happen because there'd be more rotation or stick with the status quo. Allowing clubs spend X more on salaries on four Not English qualified players would be my solution (Although it'd bugger us). You could even set something up like the luxury tax in the NBA as a fine for clubs if they go a certain amount of years with four foreign players while not producing enough England players. [/QUOTE]
