[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 163212"] My question would be: when the world series comes around, would it be played in that year [i]instead[/i] of the usual summer/autumn internationals? Furthermore, how would this solve player burnout by burdening an already overloaded season to have a mini-world cup twice in the four year cycle? I mean, this isn't revolutionary, this is just the iRB copying the ICC's Champions Trophy which is seen in the Cricket world as just another cynical license to print money in the cricket mad nations of India & Pakistan via lucrative sponsorship and extra television revenue. To be honest, the fact that the RFU support it means nothing as they chase the dollar with more lust than a Thai transexual hooker used to chase an Australian soldier out on R&R from Vietnam. However if the rather obvious is true and that it'll just mean the same number of games played by team a in a summer or autumn international test series anyway then I wouldn't mind seeing it.
