[QUOTE="higgik, post: 1141138, member: 74704"] Exactly. The RFU should be breaking club rugby into 3 sections. 1) Pro 2) development 3) community Each level has a different roke to play in developing the game. For the pro level 1) sort out the calendar so there is 2 international windows, one of 7 weeks in Sept & Oct the other of 6 weeks in May/June. 2) NH pro rugby starts in Nov, with a 'trial' or 'pre-season' in Sept and Oct 3) maximum number of domestic dates to be limited to 22 weeks. 4) Europe played after domestic, as a RWC style 20 team event, 8 weeks. This would mean an international player would play a maximum of 12 internationals 21 domestic 7 Europe This is 40 weeks of games played over 43 weeks, still giving a 9-10 week block rest, with odd weeks rest in season. And this is if that player managed to play every international and got to the final of every club tournament!!! [/QUOTE]
