[QUOTE="retired9, post: 1076597, member: 79608"] I can's say SA joining the 6N has any appeal for me at all, it is a European tournament and part of the success of the concept is that the competing nations are really neighbours, geographically and culturally close with historic rivalry predating rugby by centuries. Once this gets expanded too far it begins to feel too World Cup like for me and we already have one of those. I also would like to see some way of getting towards a "Euros" rugby tournament, although how this would sit with the 6N is probably impossible. The reality would be that it would be the same 6N teams competing at the finals anyway. A worthwhile project surely is to encourage big sporting nations like Germany/Spain/Netherlands in particular to catch up? There is no reason why a country like Germany couldn't be a big force in rugby if the sport was built up. Maybe some touring exhibitions from the existing 6N teams could help? [/QUOTE]
