[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 110513"] What you are suggestion is regionalism through the back door. You are suggesting imposing a system where some clubs will be shoved into a top, trans national league while others are asked ti languish in obscurity. Fans will be given a stark choice (especially those in the South West) : find another team to support or fart around for a few years in Division 2 or 1. Come to England, talk to any Rugby fan and suggest that system and you'll be laughed out of the pub or house you're in. I mean, sod the Super 14, they're artificial, they wear the same crappy team kits all made by the same kit maker and they're all the *****es of their respective Rugby Union. The only teams who have the balls to argue back are the South African ones. What Europe needs is to just pool its leagues (the GP, ML and the Top 14) and just do away with ALL cups except ONE. Essentially just have a playoff system just like the NHL or the NFL for their Stanley Cup and their Superbowl. Simple, easy and keeps all the existing leagues intact. Perfect. [/QUOTE]
