No thanks. SA can stay in the rugby championship.
Would rather see Georgia given a go in the 6N.

I agree. Just because they haven't won it recently is no reason
to up sticks & disrupt our competition. England went years when
I was a lad not winning the 5Nations, Wales seemingly winning it
most years.

But timings wise it makes more sense for SA to play with the
Europeans, being as they are in the same time zone. The big
problem as I see it though is that the traditional seasons don't
match up.

That argument worked when it was the Tri-Nations. Now it
includes Argentina, there's a much larger spread of time zones
anyway.

Me too.
I reckon that the country winning the European Nations Cup (or
whatever it's called now) should have an annual pot at the team
who came last in the previous edition of the Six Nations. To
give the top "tier two" nations more exposure to the "tier one"
teams is supposed to be a priority of World Rugby. They should
factor it into the replanning of the international calendar.
BTW, credit to Scotland: they are playing Georgia home and away
this year. 31 August in Tbilisi, the following week at
Murrayfield. First "tier one" team to visit Georgia for a full
test

No thanks. I'd also rather see Georgia or eventually Spain
fighting it out with Italy for a place in the 6N. SA are
welcome to join the lower tier. ;D

Blooming cheek. Quite happy when Super 12 was the bees knees but
now SA aren't doing so well he wants out. Doesn't seem to
understand that I want doesn't always get, or that SA may not
actually be all that welcome.
