[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 96757"] Utterly ridiculous idea, destroying the history of the game and clubs that have been the foundation for any international success, it really does make you wonder how these gimps get in charge of running the game in England. I can understand the point that the RFU want to have more control of the clubs to benefit the national team, fair enough, but to destory the clubs in the process isn't the way to go about it. The RFU are supposed to be the richest of the unions so why not buy out the owners and create a ringfence with two divisions, that way they can protect the international players from burnout and keep the clubs intact. There probably isn't the money to do that but it would have to be better than simply getting rid of clubs and creating soulless franchises. [/QUOTE]
