[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 910125, member: 40658"] I hear you. And in Cricket that plan is going to get a rude awakening as the ICC is looking at abolishing the coin toss ahead of the test and allow the visiting captain to decide on whether to bat or to bowl first. But in rugby, the issue is that the stadiums aren't as full as it once were, especially in countries like South Africa due to a lot of losses and other factors. The crowd in most stadiums play an integral part in international tests, and try and make it as uncomfortable as possible for the visiting teams. But if it's rainy and muddy, less people will go to the match, and less people will go because they want to see entertaining rugby. All I'm saying is that the venues being selected should be considered for it's maximum potential and consider revenue and attendance. [/QUOTE]
