6 Nations to move?

[Dan54]

This is being reported, seems at odds with what Beaumont said, but would be so bloody great if it could be done! I would even be happy with RC being played early in season to align things!! We can only hope I think!

PS I didn't know where to post this so I made new thread, if anyone wants to move it to appropriate thread would be good!

Personally this is the best system I have heard of for a global season, both NH and SH move things a bit, and having a test 'season' really excites me!

Don't you want to see players in form make there way into a team?

Absolutely, and if you had a test series early in season, following on from Oct/Nov/Dec you would already have form players in. And you would have next season to force your way in . Personally I don't think players should be pickedwithout a good solid full season behind them anyway.

But wouldn't the players be picked in March for their form from December?

I think what is discussed in the linked article would be an intriguing development indeed. Can't say that I hate it.

Yep, but not many players force their way into GOOD teams on a few good games! Though I follow your thinking, maybe it me, but I think to step up to next level you really need a full season of good rugby, I think people that were naming Wallabies or All Blacks on what we have seen so far this season were a bit previous!
