[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1076569, member: 72205"] Timezones are better for SA but what does European rugby get out of it? Better competition, and? SA will bring in more money but they'll want a larger slice of the pie than Italy does. Does that mean actual less money for the other 5 nations? Flight time in terms of logistics is bad for the teams and nature of the 6 Nations you switching out a Scottish flight of 3 hours to Rome to 11-14 hours to Cape Town. There's less chance they'd win. The different hemisphere makes a difference on playing conditions. As noted this keeps on coming up I doubt the 6 nations will ever let non-European team in and its probably already getting its maximum money whilst remaining on FTA television. [/QUOTE]
