[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 632102, member: 38640"] Right - unfortunately this yet again demonstrates how little you seem to appreciate how international rugby is vital. For a start - you want to close down all tests outside a Rugby World Cup. Well what you don't seem to appreciate is that it is the international games which FUND domestic rugby in many countries. No All Blacks matches means no domestic rugby in NZ - really beneficial of the tier two players in the NPC which would have to be cancelled from the money made in All Blacks tests. Well done. Canada never gets any exposure to tier 1 sides and even minimal exposure to tier two - as all their qualifying matches have to be played within a short window (the logistic of which are nearly impossible). I agree, I think Canada getting no exposure to any tier 1 teams as they have to qualify for the cup can only be beneficial to second tier rugby :rolleyes:. Why should RWC earnings go to the clubs? Guess what - without the money from the RWC countries like Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Namibia, Georgia etc don't get money put into the grass routes or into those players developments. If the clubs really felt so hard done by the Rugby World Cup, then they should make sure they don't sign players who are part of development schemes organized by the IRB. Or better yet, maybe they should be made to compensate the IRB for money they have already put into developing those players. I'm sorry - but there is something wrong with you if you think any tier 2 rugby will benefit purely based on the charity of private clubs. [/QUOTE]
