Argentina are already involved in the rugby championship
(formerly tri nations). There’s a few Tier 2 sides in Europe but
realistically imagine Georgia to be a good one to push Italy

Except that they played each other just over a year ago and
Georgia got handily beaten....
They wouldn't be any more competitive than Italy. Go back to 5
Nations and a real 2nd they comp with Italy, Georgia, Spain and
whoever the next 2 ranked European tabs are...
Argentina should be in an Americas comp with USA, Canada,
Uruguay and?? Get Japan into the Tri nations. Maybe the books
should play in the 6 Nations. I'm sure there are as many Bok
supporters in SW London and Surrey as there are in Cape Town and
Jo'burg.....

The 5th game, even if not a complete sell-out is a useful income
stream for nations.

Definately should be relegation. Gives other countries a chance
to progress.

If you measure progress as being stuffed 5 times every couple of
years or so.

Georgia though haven't been given the advantage that Italy have
had by playing in the 6N for 20+ years but have been improving
at a much quicker pace. I think they should be given a chance to
take the opportunity that Italy have wasted

Georgia would come in and be stuffed in the same way Italy have
been. I suppose they may as well give them a go but I don’t see
it ending any differently.
Slightly off beam rant here but I find myself caring much less
about the 6 nations these days. Italy were mindless yesterday,
same old same old. France have a performance in them, let’s see
if they can keep it up. Scotland lose more than they win but
their game against England. BBC coverage is staler than a 2 week
old loaf covered in mould. The sheer bias from all Celtic
pundits except Paul O Connell. England’s performances analysed
5x everyone else’s. The fixtures - mix them up FFS. Yes, it’ll
take a year to correct but it’s tedious to have the same set up
year after year after year.

Yes, Georgia would get stuffed to start with but would they
still be getting stuffed in 5 years time? I think they would
make more progress in 5 than Italy have done on 20+, judging by
the way they've improved
Agree totally on the Celtic pundits, so biased and one eyed,
embarrassing listening to them! POC, although he sounds very
dull was fair and insightful. I've still not forgiven him though
for beating us single handed in that QF!
