[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 981226, member: 13739"] Is 3 regions enough to provide for the national side though? This probably isn't an easy yes/no answer because it all depends on the quality underpinning the regional game. If we could have 3 highly competitive regions + a good semi professional league below which breeds regional ready players then this would probably be sufficient. The prem as it stands is nowhere near, but if by cutting a region an extra £milions a season could be ploughed into a streamlined premiership of say 9 sides (3 per region), then maybe the quality could be improved quickly to avoid a situation like Scotland where they struggle for numbers.
