Play against the 6N teams, Georgia and Romania. Most of the PI guys are based in the NH I think.

IF we get a more sensibly aligned calendar where less club matches happen in international windows, or maybe we get to the stage where club happens only when international doesn’t, a couple of questions come to mind:
1. When do the international players get a break, for their welfare, other than when recovering from injury (rehab not really a break)? 2. Where/when do the talented youngsters get their development opportunities and time in the first team?

If the regions have any hope for a viable, long term future then a calendar needs to be agreed whereby the Internationals are seen more of in their club colours. That, to me, is far more important than the weather conditions. [/QUOTEAgree but to me it'shand in hand. If a change is made, the international window will be completely different to thedleage campaign. November through to Feb could allbeinternational that ties in with AI and 6N. Leagues around the world to kick off the sametime aroundfrom January through September.

Nobody loves there cricket more than me, as a player, coach and a spectator . Rugby in the NH is an absolute shambles, while realising the game is driven by International matches and the money it brings .Club/regional rugby needs a structured season, a global one! which also as player welfare at its forefront . As a Scarlets season ticket holder I want to see our star players on the field at the Parc far more often, as do our young supporters . If we not have a global season now? we will never have one . If not I fear for the long term future of rugby union. Last season the weather was wet, cold and horrible for every game bar two . |

If union wants to grow as a sport a global calendar is a must a season change is needed as well. How many neutrals are put off by a soaking at Parc yScarlets. Sunshine and attacking rugby... The game becomes a better spectacle to draw in the neutrals or lost fans and the summer evenings could mean more money spent in behind the bars etc. Financially imo a no brainer. But it's what I've wanted for years. No doubt there's arguments for keeping it as is. But there's ways around themimo. .

It is not. Also, Top14 starts (if at all) on August 24th. Football is usually the same, last week of August or so at the earliest and only because the schedule is packed a.f.

Though a big amount of that average is fans of the away side traveling from England for a long weekend or week in the South of France and to watch their team |

Well the last time I watched soccer there were no mauls, scrums, smother tackles etc. I'm sure the players and staff are tested a couple of times every week at substantial expense to the club's. Not sure we could afford that. It's the English football leagues that are playing soccer. The Scots are not. We would need the permission of the First Minister to play rugby.

The French holiday in July much more than August. I used to live there. So the comment has some validity. But I took it from this: "If we start in January, we would play throughout the summer with problems including ticket sales, television, sponsors and player safety. We would be competing against big global sporting events. Maybe I am reading too much into the article, but not enough for it to be dismissed as nonsense.
