[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 574862, member: 13611"] I suspect the Welsh, Irish and Scottish unions main reason for allowing Italian franchises into the Celtic League/Pro 12 was access to a potentially huge TV market. The old Celtic League couldn't compete with the financial clout of the Premiership or Top 14. If Italy (and it's 80 million strong population) awakens, we could see three top European leagues sustained. [/QUOTE]
