[QUOTE="profitius, post: 829728, member: 41524"] I think it would be difficult to raise much money but I think it would be harder for Georgians. I'm skeptical of having American teams in the pro12 but I think it is possible and they could be a success. Without know the facts, all we have is guesswork. I wouldn't rule anyone out or in at this stage. As for sports broadcaster paying for it, the pro12 will be on in the afternoon or morning, American time. Plenty of free space to fill. This side of the atlantic there is broadcasting space to fill after 11pm so they'd welcome some late night rugby. Usually flicking through sky sports after 11pm they have repeats of old matches from the 90s. As for culturally, its not a deal breaker but it does help in some ways. In terms of location, Romania and Spain yes. Germany is closer than Italy. Georgia is closer than the USA but both are long flights. I didn't know about DAZN so I looked it up. Its a good idea and great for rugby fans. Hopefully something like it will come to Ireland. [/QUOTE]
