[QUOTE="esoj, post: 155498"] yeah I agree with that. I also think this could do more harm than good. while the lesser nations would get more exposure teams in NZ,SA and Australia that don't make the top group would suffer very greatly. A lot of the smaller unions/teams I can see completely collapsing if they fail to make the top group. The heinken cup works in europe because the clubs have the money to support it but down here in the southern hemisphere the money teams have is way less and many rely on the money that comes from things like the super 14 and central contracting of players to survive. for something like this to work down under central contracting would have to go and teams would need to find a whole heap of cash from somewhere to stay viable if they miss the top group.
