[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 253635"] good for the Italians to know they have a concrete date. Plenty of logisticals to work through in the meanwhile, will the Italian sides be made up of some amalgamations of existing sides, will it be the top 2 sides in the Super 10, what in turn will happen to the Super 10. Given we have a league structure it seems a qualification system for Italian sides into the ML via the Super 10 wouldn't work, it would make the domestic calendar too congested for one thing. Whether the ML sides would agree to that is another thing. The TV deal also needs to be worked out, which UK and Irish broadcasters would get the rights to games in Italy, I know a new deal has been done in Italy so presumably that would cover that side of it. Wonder what impact this will have on the proposed playoffs, you're already talking about an expanded domestic schedule with 10 teams, wonder whether the IRFU will agree on the same system with 12 sides.
