[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 534342, member: 22777"] Simple solution really; scrap AI's. Once a year we go touring down south, the next year you lot come up here. Gives more space for real tours, meaning Ireland might only play South Africa once every 5 years or so, lending real significance to a three match test series. Also means that there can be proper tours, with mid week games and such. Makes the World Cup a bigger deal too as it's the only time when everyone really gets to compete against each other. Two sticking issues though. One is the loss of revenue that goes with losing 3 test matches a year, the other is the lack of room it gives for developing the minnows. Second one shouldn't be a problem for the unions as they don't seem to give a hoot anyway, and the first one should resolve itself when the big unions realise that people don't care as much about their games and aren't watching as much.
