[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1042346, member: 82670"] I totally see what you’re saying and don’t necessarily disagree with you but rugby has always been partial to this kind of thing. As a sport we’ve only had world cups since the late 80s and European club competitions since what the mid/late 90s? In terms of identity and things like that it’s a bit different to say, football. Obviously it depends on your definition of sole or identity or your perspective on things but, for me, most popular sport has lost its sole as money corrupts everything to varying degrees but especially in sport where you have people who really cherish that sport on an emotional level. As I say, though, I get what you’re saying and you’re right, elite European club competitions should be for European clubs but it is what it is I suppose. I doubt this will be permanent anyway.
