[QUOTE="Penne Rara, post: 863743, member: 74680"] People need to change their mind then, I don't see how french rugby can improve if clubs keep controlling everything. And I've personally never enjoyed watching a top 14 game, despite trying all my best. Can't see why french people keep saying it's the best competition in the World, they aren't fooling anyone. Granted, it's possibly the competition involving the largest amount of money, or that has the biggest number of foreigners in it, but it's definitely not the toughest or the most pleasing to watch. I'd even say it's the most boring tournament worldwide. Nope, provinces have never been tried in France, which is possibly why people were so reluctant to see them become the main comp system. The idea was suggested when we got into professionalism but it was never adopted. Fans are foolish, they won't try something new unless they witness its immediate effects. And short term thinking will never get us back onto our feet, only club leaders take immediate financial decisions to try and curb today's issues. We've got to be smarter than that and think on the long run. [/QUOTE]
