[QUOTE="DonBilly, post: 121428"] This lower league you mention already exists actually and is commonly called the 6NB, Portugal, Romania, Russai, Georgia, Spain and the Czech Repubic are in it. There's a promotion/relegation system with another league which could be seen as a third division where you can find Germany, Netherland, Sweden, Poland, etc. These competitions are organized by the FIRA-AER. The idea of relegation from 6N to RNB has be envisioned but it was felt that this could be the kiss of death for a Union such as the Scottish one which may be relegated and not able anymore due to very poor finance shape at the moment to come back. So in order to secure Scotish Rugby future and the continuous strenghtening of the Italian Rugby it is better to not have this relegation system yet. The IRB and the FIRA should focus on strengthening the Unions involved in the 6NB. In the Long Term Romania or Portugal can be strong enough to become the 7th Nation or mybe this will require a reorganization of the top level tunaments in Europe. [/QUOTE]
