[QUOTE="Oliver Madden, post: 917181, member: 77963"] don't want this idea to come in. what's the point?. the Six Nations is competitive enough already - as for the Rugby Championship, we don't need any more teams in it. its bad enough with 4. one thing I do hope when the new global calendar comes in is that we don't have a situation where we play one of the Southern Hemisphere big boys 4 times a year. its tedious. For example, in this WC cycle England played Oz 4 times in 2016, again in Nov 2017 and also this year. in my view when we tour a SH country in the summer we shouldn't then play them in the next couple of Autumns. for instance we played the Boks in June, we shouldn't in my view be playing them in the Autumn until 2020. as much as I enjoy the Autumn games the lack of a game against the AB's before this year has been frustrating, particularly when we've played the Wallabies endless times. there needs to be more variety in the schedules for the Autumn. hopefully with the new drive to get tier 2 teams more exposure v tier 1 nations this happens.
