[QUOTE="TrueSlawter, post: 596627, member: 44519"] As you asked :P It's something in the region of 3,000,000 v 53,000,000. In a numbers game sure England have a higher chance of producing more players of a higher quality But then look at NZ so numbers isn't a huge part of the game really. On the topic though most of it is a pure power and money move by the PRL and LNR as pointed out alot earlier in the thread the current money breakdown is pretty equal in terms of share per club it just looks lopsided as the Pro12 nations get lumped together when there is 10/11 teams compared to 6 from England & France. Teams have said the qualification aspect they would agree with and imo it should be the top 8 Pro 12 teams qualify to make the tournament 20 teams. The development of Scottish and Italian teams may suffer a bit but long run it should push them to aim for the top slots of the league to qualify etc. [/QUOTE]
