Is it possible to merge Six-Nations and Four-Nations?

Is it possible to merge Six-Nations and Four-Nations to make them World 8 Nations?
The bottom team are relegated and the winners of qualifying tournament are promoted to World 8 Nations next year. And there is no World 8 Nations in the World Cup years.

No.

1. First, most obvious question: Why would we wan't to? It'd just deride the world of a meaningful World Cup while - making two of the ten teams missing out on pro rugby.

2. Travel would be a nightmare. NZ could potentially travel to four different continents if they had away games against one of France/England/Wales/Ireland/Italy, Argentina, Australia and South Africa.

3. It would make any meaningful development of the sport even less likely.

Whilst it would not break the bonds of time and space, it is undesirable and impractical.

Yet again another Shitty thread!! YAY!!

first of all learn to count moron!! 6 nations plus 4 nations equals 10, not 8!!

I thought you were Japanese/.Korean??!! so much for stereotyping!!

Wouldn't this just de-value the World Cup?

 

[sifplay]

From a $$$$ perspective yes. But reality and the busy schedule of todays game. No. Purely due to logistical reasons

Is it possible you could stop wasting our time with all these abominations

I love how psychotically excited some of the guys get on here. Just say, "umh no...impractical and just a strange idea to start with".
