First topic message reminder :

I'd like to see at least three divisions of European competition with promotion and relegation (even if that means a playoff between the bottom of one vs the top of the next league down (possibly played at the lower team's ground).

I would like to see 3x4 Nations leagues. It would mean some form of a ground attendance profit sharing scheme to subsidise lower division teams.
Played H&A in the same 6Ns window (i.e. one more game per side).

It would mean the 6Ns turkeys having to vote for Christmas, but how the hell else are the T2 nations going to break through the glass ceiling?

Fraught with impracticalities I know but div 3 sides don't have to play in 6Ns window though...

You might be, I will be watching Wales on tour in Japan! Yahoo

Awwww...the Welsh are going to boycott sending their big lads on the Lion's tour? The premonition lists in the last few weeks were stacked with them.

After the shambles in Rome, is anyone likely to be more inclined to favour a 3x4Ns divisional competition?

Add Spain now! they have the player base.

1. How does that fit into a structured season.

1a. Wouldn't Russia/Georgia have first dibs over Spain.

1b. Where would it all end? An 8/9/10...Ns Contest

2. If you read the OP, I think think the perspective might become apparent.
