[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 1139816, member: 73648"] From the physical side I know that in endurance sport the science is agreed upon by experts in terms of peaking and efforts leading up to it. I think the debate will probably be more about technical skills and the mental aspect of things. I agree with you. There’s no reason for England and wales to play a series or Scotland and France to play a home and home. The one thing that sort of makes sense about the current system is that there are really only 13 solid international teams right now (some up and some down) and if you want to gauge yourself before the World Cup you’ll need to have some type of competition with them. I’m confident a team could go in with just a camp and a scrimmage and be more than adequately prepared but I don’t know how much support they’d get from their union. [/QUOTE]
