[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 838528, member: 67273"] It's not just that - they are quite a poor country (not trying to be disrespectful or sneering here, just pragmatic), with a GDP significantly lower than the 6 nations'. I think people really misunderstand what makes the 6 nations successful - it's not innovative or progressive. Nor is it indended to be, it's all about tradition and predictability. It's why people are averse to bonus points - because it increases the number of "moving parts". It's the same teams, at the same time of year trying to do the same simple thing - win as many games as possible. I love steak, and I don't have any great love of Turkey, but I wouldn't want beef for Christmas lunch. It's Christmas. [/QUOTE]
