Ok, I thought perhaps a new thread would be good to get posters ideas of what they think international rugby should look like going forward.
I read the posts where after many seemingly wanting tours etc, now NZ/SA are starting them it has become a bad thing.
I must admit to growing up and watching and loving rugby tours , both here in NZ or when ABs went to SA/SA/GB so maybe just an old bugger misremembering things. We just saw how successful Lions tour was to Aus and generally are here in NZ.
I am also hearing whispers NZR and RA are having quiet talks at moment about doing same tour scenario. NZ and SA are every 4 years and plenty of time between for Aus and NZ or even SA to do same. Wouldn't this be good to see again? Hell have the RC once every 4 years etc if need be, and lets see if we can have things that fans want? And why not same with Aus and England or France etc, though that a little harder with seasons etc I know.
Or do we all think how we are doing things at moment is the best? I personally think RC has become a little stale ( though this year looks a beauty). It's never going to have the 6N's history etc or even vibe ,well not that I can see.
I really think a shake up of international fixtures would be good.
And this is not just about NZ and Aus why I think it can be discussed seperately.
