One of the complaints from our Welsh cousins is too many games during the November/6N windows.ronk wrote:A short season causes problems for Leinster in RDS, Munster in Cork and hurts investments in Ulster and Connacht.
Others probably can live with more attention on less games.
If you balanced the pools (1 Irish, 1 Welsh, 1 SA and 1 Sco/Ita) with 16 sides, you would be looking at the same number of games as now (H&A within pool and local sides) + once v rest.
