That's been talked about for months, and I totally agree with the FIR on this. Having to pay a large sum of 3 million (roughly the same as Zebre's budget) to play Rabo is ridiculous and shows exactly why the Celtic nations have been worst throughout rugby history at growing the game. Wouldn't it be better to have that money kept on getting stronger Italian teams who could contribute more to European rugby? Why should a union that is smaller and younger than the rest pay the richer ones to play in a league? Could you imagine Tonga handing over a load of money to countries like Wales, England and New Zealand to play in the RWC?
