[QUOTE="Toko_11, post: 750102, member: 39484"] utter BS... each and every 6N team has had more than enough time and resource to overtake the 4N but have they ??? umm no ? there is a huge untapped market in Europe and the fact that this close doors system keeps everyone out IS the reason NH rugby has slacked... people know they won't be accepted so they don't bother.. why would they when there is a fair and open competition in form of Football and Basketball and ton of other sports that don't have the archaic system.. of-course it takes a hugely stubborn Georgia to compete and keep pushing the elites where everyone else would've just given up ages ago. so lets look at the arguments against Georgia in this case... [COLOR=#000000][I] ok fine[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][I] - Bulll****e! the whole reason in expansion is more competition.. if you think Georgia are going to remain tier 2 level for a decade after the inclusion you are from another planet... Georgia will play JWC and you can see the example for yourself.. Georgians have raised talents that are as good as any tier 1 at the 17-21 age range, (Case in poitn: Vasil Lobzhanidze 18yr Merab Sharikadze 21yr Tamaz Mchedlidze 22yr. All putting great performancess on the world cup) its after that they find difficulties and fall behind due to the lack of exposure to the top club rugby.. but that will change soon as Georgia was recently allowed to compete internationally! [/I][/COLOR]if England skips a year of playing Wales it won't end the friggin world as we know it.. in fact there will be more interest in the game whenever they do get to play and Georgia will not only bring more quality and entertainment but also a whole different style of rugby! The problem that rugby is facing now is the one that football faced in 40s and 50s... that tells you something about the outdated thinking of these rugby communities... [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] I'm not in the relegation camp but if the whole country system depends on the performance of the national team on the 6N than THAT IS A CRAP SYSTEM! that needs to be changed overhauled or otherwise fixed. if they are not self sufficient after all these years that means they've been slacking too much.. how is it that Georgia can produce better talents at age grade as well as better forwards on any grade with minimal funding.. a fraction compared to Italy and Scotland really ? It's the enthusiasm that keeps them going and they don't look at the empty pocket every time you ask them to leave Clermont or Toulon for a month to go play with Russia in some village of siberia on a muddy and snowy stadium! risking injuries and what not... yet some 6N participants can't be bothered to get their hands dirty while being comforted and fed with a wooden spoon! [COLOR=#000000][I]Slightly promising for a short amount of time ? yes the constant progress for 20 years, the regular attendance of 40k + growth in the player base, huge imrovement in infrastructure and investments, self sufficient system and passionate [/I][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][I]fan-base makes for "slightly promising look for a small amount of time"/// that kind of attitude is all due to the myths and legends spread by lousy journalists that assume we practice rugby on parking lots and use tractors as scrum machines! in fact by next year we would have completed 14 brand new venues all across the country add to that 3 already functioning Rugby venues and 2 35k and 50k national stadiums all of which will meet every international standard of WR and even UEFA - as some of the fields will be rented to local football clubs because Rugby infrastructure has overtaken every sport in the country be it in quality or quantity!! all these venues will be showcased in the JRWC which will be hosted by Georgia in 2017... and Georgia will bring out the squad that Beat Ireland and Italy on the u18 euros as well as the u19 squad that won JWRT to qualify for the 2016 JWRC... If Georgia Doesn't deserve to play top rugby at this point than no team in the world does... including half of the 6N sides! And if after all this you still think adding teams like Georgia will weaken the NH rugby... I say hi Mr. Feehan[/I][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
