[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 591800, member: 48703"] Forget the tournament format, it's secondary to the issue. The main issue is the money. The ERC is owned by all the 6 Nations and the money spilt between them. Obviously this means, Scotland who provide two average teams to the product, get near enough the same as France who give Toulon, Clermont, Toulouse and several others to the product. The French and English wanted more money proportionately, claiming they contribute more revenue and should get a fairer amount of the profits. Scotland and Italy would probably not mind being in the Amlin if they kept their 13% share of the profits. They couldn't agree on a different redistribution of the profits with the Celts fighting their corner of how much they contribute to the product. [/QUOTE]
