[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 602191, member: 20605"] ... which is really a roundabout way of saying that the European Domestic season (especially in France, runs for far too long. How can any international competition be fit in on a non-interference basis when the domestic seasons run for 10 months of a 12 month year, and with players required to take two months breaks? IMO, the iRB need to act, through their Unions, to limit domestic seasons to no more than six months. Domestic competition organisers would need to design their competitions to fit within that timeframe. That could mean larger squads and regular midweek matches, or ditch the home-away nature of the leagues. The NZRU manages to fit the entire ITM Cup into 12 weeks (<3 months) and SANZAR fits Super rugby into 19 weeks (<5 months). If they can do it, then why can't the LNR and PRL do something similar.
