This'll probably happen.
Oh and Finneys, the other day you were saying that there were too many games when we were debating on msn. Now you want another one?
Streamline the calendar. Either have the six nations and the expanded tri-nations competitions at the same time, or have them so that one runs during the others season break and vice-versa.

Warren Gatland is going to be officially named as new Wales coach tomorrow.
A lot less of a numpty than Gareth Jenkins, though that's not saying much.
He has a reputation as a disciplinarian which seems the main thing that the Wales squad need at the moment. Though the retirement of the spoilt slaphead with the biggest ego in rugby will probably help on its own (Gareth Thomas has retired, right?).

'mon Tigers to go one further than last year in Heineken and repeating the Premiership glory :cool: not had the fastest start out the gates but we've had a lot of players away at the World Cup and so on, back to full strength now.
Have to agree that a 7 nations with everyone playing a team once as it currently stands would probably make the calendar a little big, but we can't deny Argentina from joining. It would seem the best option to make the tri-nations a 4-nations competition but looking at where all the Argentine players play, the 6 nations is the logical choice.

Not if the two competitions were played at the same time. Synchronised calendars ftw.

We have the best team in the premiership by far its just getting our team to flow now. Hopefully Lofredda will help us achieve this and Hernandéz will follow at the end of the year.
