[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 93351"] well that's not the answer either, without the English the tournament would be diluted, inspite of their not so stellar showing in this seasons or last seasons competition. I think the HEC is the pinacle of club rugby in the Northern Hemisphere and to not have it once every 4 years won't go down too well with the Magners league sides I'd imagine. It does seem strange though that there's tv deals in place yet no arrangement in place for the compeition itself, I'm surprised the broadcasters allowed that to happen. I think this might raise the question of having a more uniform season, playing the Heineken Cup in one block, the league in another, then the internationals. [/QUOTE]
