[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 868960, member: 74121"] They have done what I'd hoped they would avoid with the fixtures. Edinburghs trip to SA clashes with the last November test. So a vastly understrength Edinburgh will face a full strength Cheetahs and Kings with almost no internationals, away from home. Care to predict the results of those fixtures? :p On weekends when international players are unavailable I think Scottish and Italian sides should have been playing either: a) at home to anyone b) away to other Scottish and Italian sides (as they will be handicapped to a similar extent) I'm sure an algorithm for fixtures could be drawn up to factor that in without too much difficulty. Still, it's only a minor blot on the copybook. [/QUOTE]
