[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 838479, member: 74121"] Thanks. It's just jumping on the back of the Scotsman article (which I do consider an accurate representation of Pro12's thinking even though its a terrible publication). Anything that reduces the clash with the international window and helps retain international players in the league gets my vote. It arguably cost Glasgow a home semi-final last season and might cost them a place in the playoffs this year. It's a very uneven playing field as a result. They have to learn from the Italian situation and take steps to make any new sides a little more competitive from the outset. For example, each Pro12 side (except the Italian ones) loan out one starting player from the previous year to one of the expanded sides. [/QUOTE]
