[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 153512"] I wouldn`t add any more to the international calendar. But what should maybe change, is for more emphasis to be put on the rankings. By using the rankings from maybe the year the RWC is held in, in order to do the seedings. As things stand at the moment, the rankings at the end of this RWC, will determine the seedings for 2011, which is ridiculous really. And how about a trophy for being ranked no.1 at the end of any given year, like what they`ve got with the ICC in test cricket? CA, I like your idea about a possible "Ranfurly shield" equivalent. This would certainly add some spice to proceedings. And I absolutely love the concept- in that old boxing adage, you`ve got to beat the champ, to be the champ. I think something like that, with a shield/trophy being put on display every time the "championship" is put on the line, could add a lot of spice and excitement. It`ll never replace the RWC as the obvious pinnacle, but can cause a lot of extra interest in the 4 years in-between! [/QUOTE]
