[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 110483"] You clearly don't understand English rugby the way those living within the system do. Like Prestwick says, they are not all awful ideas, but would not work. I would be one of those fans firmly set against regional teams. You have to understand this isn't New Zealand or Australia. The rivalery among many of England's top clubs is huge. If you had more of a first hand knowledge you would realise that asking Northampton and Leicester, Bath and Gloucester etc, fans to cheer for the same domestic team is too much. Rugby fans are not the thugs of football who will thump any other supporter in a different colour shirt, but at the same time they are not going to simply drop such massive local divides. You also can't just boot some clubs into a lower league. Who decides who drops and who stays? Wasps may not be on a great run of form, but they are traditional heavyweights. Same with Saints. There are enouhg English clubs and players to warrant an all English league, mixing with the Magners is totally unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
