With everything in all sport currently up in the air, it is now the time to reset the sporting calendar.
For Union this means, taking the power from the 6N??? Difficult I know, but surely CVC would be open to getting 'best value' for their products.
Attached is my plan for a global calendar starting in the 2023-24 NH season.
1) it separates Internationals from 'club' rugby.
2) it shortens the NH club season, to support player welfare and also to give fans a better product on the pitch, as the top players will be playing a greater percentage of games.
3) expands TRC to include Japan, and reduces this to 4 games over 6 weeks (enabling travel and/or 1 return fixture).
