[QUOTE="higgik, post: 1160640, member: 74704"] Been suggesting this for 2 years. It came from an idea originally for an expanded TRC. For Europe, I would also invite African teams. Firstly though the calendar needs sorting so there are just 2 international windows, late spring and early Autumn. Imagine a Euro Africa Champs with 10 teams, 2 groups of 5, with semis and finals hosted by one nation, say Italy or Spain to help develop. Group A SA, France, Wales, Portugal, Georgia Group B Ireland, England, Scotland, Italy, Spain Based on current WR rankings. Bottom 2 teams play off v top 2 from div 2 in the week of the play offs Div 2 1 group of 4 play in single venue, over same period. Div 2 Romania, Namibia, Netherlands, Switzerland. [/QUOTE]
