    Wouldn't a 2 x 5 nations be better? Based on current rankings

    League 1
    - England
    - Ireland
    - Wales
    - France
    - Japan

    League 2
    - Scotland
    - Italy
    - Spain
    - USA
    - Romania

    This is all about money and nothing to do with the game. St Africa wants the time zone for viewers. It’s a European competition, involving short travel during the regional on-season. For S.Africa it is off season so automatically gives them an advantage as players will not be playing club games.

    Sth Africa also can’t compete in the Championship league so wants out to stop losing so much. Tough, regional competitions have their place, global competitions already exist.
