I think crowds would be poorer than many would anticipate if games were excluded from the season ticket package. And if they weren't, the cost of a season ticket would almost inevitably rise which might in turn reduce attendances.

How many times a year will teams want to travel to the other side of the world?

In the end, if it requires 4 or 6 weeks for the competition, it will interrupt to the same degree whether you spread those weeks out or keep them in a block.

Well yeah thats he only problem, its not like the Hieneken cup where the other teams are a drive or a 2 hour flight away.

in the WCC the teams are a 30 hour flight away or however long it takes.

I´m just saying it probably would be better doing it in stages rather than one block of games
