[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1133887, member: 74895"] Not saying it's the answer but if they are going ahead with this why not introduce age caps for this comp so that younger players who aren't playing as much top level rugby throughout the rest year get experience at test level e.g. 13 of the test 23 has to be 23 and under. That way half of the older experienced players will play in the summer and the rest in November so that they get a break in the calendar. Not ideal but the lack of coordination between the various bodies makes it a player damage limitation exercise. [/QUOTE]
