[QUOTE="SmokeyMonkey, post: 71479"] The point is that they are regions/provinces rather than clubs. Also if for instance the WRU, IRFU and SRU just added another 3/4 'filler' teams it's suddenly fair that we get 3/4 teams is it? As for the England gets 50% thing, they get the other 50% into the ECC so you can't use that as an excuse. And I don't understand your point about the 100 Welsh teams qualifying? They only get 2 guaranteed (which could be 1 next year) and Borders have had good results this year. Borders 43 - 5 Newport-Gwent Dragons Llanelli Scarlets 30 - 26 Borders Glasgow 8 - 20 Borders Borders 26 - 23 Cardiff Blues Borders 24 - 13 Glasgow Edinburgh 30 - 25 Borders Borders 23 - 11 Edinburgh Connacht 15 - 17 Borders Borders 16 - 6 Ospreys OK, jeez calm down! So I assume you would have more Italian/Spamish/Romanian teams in the comp then? Which would completely go against your own argument that teams have to deserve it to get in. Worcester was just an example. [/QUOTE]
