Post by TerenureJim »

Should we be pushing to have 4 November internationals every year?

I think so. To be the best you need to beat the best and do it regularly.

Yeah, I think so, but there has to be an acceptance at pro 12/prl level that having the same 15 players week on week being fielded is a non-runner. It's not like soccer and there will be times when big stars aren't playing. I think most people take an interest to support their team and not to watch individuals anyway, irrespective of what they claim their surveys say. If they - I'm looking at you prl - want to try to think their competition is the most important (when it clearly is not) and everyone else must bow to their will, then we have a race to the bottom, where players can't sustain the amount they are having to play.
