[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 510472, member: 56738"] Most people agree that pro rugby players (NH in particular) are playing way too much rugby... maybe this is the ideal opportunity to totally overhaul the NH season. Read a decent suggestion (either on TRF or elswhere): Sept - Dec: A scaled down domestic comp (Top 14, Aviva, Pro 12). Jan - Mar: Heineken Cup /Amlin Group Stage. Mar - Apr: 6N May - Jun: Heineken Cup Amlin Knock out stages. Still seems congested and for teams that don't qualify for HC Knock out stages the season is over but there are positives ie squad juggling for concurrent league & HC competitions so clubs can focus on one competition at a time. HC qualifying... top 7 from top 14, top 7 from Aviva, 8 teams from Pro 12 (with a minimum of one team qualifying from each country ie this season Lie, Mun, Uls, O's, Blu, Sca, Gla, Tre) and the winner from the Amlin and LV. Obviously people will find issues but what are other peoples ideas? [/QUOTE]
