[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 675282, member: 20956"] I have no idea why I'm replying to this as it is clearly a massive troll post... But how the hell would you re-format the 6 Nations? Teams would have to play 10 games for a full home and away round robin fixture list, so the whole tournament would have to be either moved out of the NH club season, or spread out across the entire season, meaning either the November or June Internationals would have to be cut out. Potentially loses money for both the NH and SH Unions, so that won't ever happen. Also what's wrong with the breaks? The 6 Nations has 2 break weekends, after the second and third rounds? Last I checked, the RC has 2 breaks with only 1 game more per team being played? Also considering that a fair chunk of the players involved in the 6N are midway through their club season, and have to go back and play for their clubs in those break weekends (In France anyway, possibly England too), hardly degrades the tournament! EDIT: Conrad, he was talking about the Pacific Islands not Argentina :p no need to whip out the photo's in Argentina's defence [/QUOTE]
