[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 585840, member: 20892"] Whilst this idea is nice, it really means you have two separate competitions running entirely - they're one competition only in name. Having a finals play off doesn't really change that (especially if the top team plays the top Heineken Cup team, because that would mean the whole world is in one competition ;)) Draggs' post below sort of emphasises the issue with this, which is that we want to see top teams playing - I'd rather play the Saffas than the Oz teams, most of the time (it helps that the Chiefs beat the SA teams...). At a minimum, I'd expect all teams to play off against one another [in a three match series?] (i.e. PACIFIC 1 v ATLANTIC 1, PACIFIC 2 v ATLANTIC 2). [/QUOTE]
