[QUOTE="ALJ, post: 847043, member: 74322"] I think that's exactly it in a nutshell. I can't pretend to have any answers but I don't think a relegation and promotion system will work as it'll take a miracle for the promoted side to be anything other than cannon fodder each year. One way or another, I think whichever side comes in at any given stage needs time to build - it's a shame that Italy haven't managed to maintain their rate of improvement as this is precisely what they've had. And god help them when Parisse retires - Negri looks really promising but those are big shoes to fill and the side is so reliant on SP it's ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
