[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 635054, member: 45598"] How will they lag behind? At club level yes the "French" clubs will be ahead but look at the cost of their club success to the international team, French rugby is going backwards because of their league. It may be worth it for club success but teams like Munster will be a huge threat to them in the next few years and Ireland, England and Wales are all ahead of them where it matters most. I know the argument is that in France the clubs are more important than the country but that is a complete losers attitude if you ask me. We'll probably have an all "French" European final again this year but that does little to hide the fact that French rugby is placing 4th in Europe. I don't really mind it because if Leinster, Munster, Ulster or one of the English outfits throw out a really good team they'll get beat but to say theirs is the model to go forward with is absurd as it is killing their international side.
