[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 468495, member: 20605"] Running a Heneken Cup-like structure in the Southern Hemisphere would be just impossible, unless the pools were regionalised. Why? Well here's your answer..... [IMG]http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o35/smartcooky99/Eur-Aus.jpg[/IMG] The ENTIRE Heineken Cup is run over a similar area to that which the Australian NRL is run. Having a Pool set-up with teams from the three countries split over the pools, and operating over a distance that requires 13 hour flights is just completely untenable It has 16 round robin matches; The Top 14 has 26, the Pro12 and the Premiership have 22 That makes them even worse.
