[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 724818, member: 22777"] You've got to remember that there's no reserve league for the Pro 12. That means players short of game time, guys just coming out of the academies, and guys on the fringe of the squad have to go into the national leagues for game time. They're okay, but they're a long way short of the standard of the championship for example. The provinces view the B&I cup as a chance to get these guys more game time and get them used to playing in the provincial setup. Can't blame the Welsh sides for doing the same. I can understand why the English and Scottish sides would be miffed though. I understand the championship sides no longer name their strongest sides for the B&I. Is this true? [/QUOTE]
