[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 544733, member: 48703"] I agree about the league position thing. That would make some matches which are dead rubbers now far more important and give teams more to play for. For example already this season, Edinburgh, Cardiff Blues, Treviso, Zebre, Connacht, Dragons all have nothing to play for. I reckon more fans would come and watch a "winner qualifies for the Heineken Cup match" rather than some humdrum 6th vs 7th match which means little at the end of the season. Also I think that they need to sort out the IRFU player welfare thing, I don't like seeing games like the Munster vs Ulster last week. The Irish provinces dno't get enough of their internationals in the league. Leinster took like 4 weeks to get their top players to play for them this season. [/QUOTE]
