[QUOTE="profitius, post: 838518, member: 41524"] All this push for Georgian rugby to be involved in the 6 nations and pro12 is nice but I'm not sure how aware people are of the finances of rugby in Europe. Basically the 6 nations funds professional rugby in Europe. Want to relegate Italy? Well do and you'll set Italian rugby back years. Want to add Georgia to make it 7 teams? Well thats an extra week on the calendar where players are missing for their clubs. Oh, and the 6 nations money is then split 7 ways instead of 6 ways resulting in millions of lost Euro/pounds for the unions. This at a time when they're being squeezed financially. And not to mention Georgia are worse than Italy at the moment! The team everyone wants to get rid of. On to the pro12. It's a long way away which means a lot of travel and if the Americans join it'll be too much. Plus the money issue again. [/QUOTE]
