Quote: fun time frankie "So if I change my attitude all the other teams will improve let's face it there is only games against Australia and New Zealand worth watching all the other countries are a bit of joke not even competitive stuffed full of Aussies apart from PNG and France but unfortunately those two have gone backwards in recent years'"
I don't think that anyone can argue with that but, how would you improve the situation for the future or, do we just shrug our shoulders and say that it will never change ?
So many fans are against expansion and unless the game works damn hard to spread its appeal the sport will continue to go backwards.
We should be doing more to grow the game in France to try and make them a decent 4th nation and also try and find a way of helping Wales become stronger. After that, in the northern hemisphere, there is next to nothing but, France and Wales would be a start.
This is something that the "failed" franchise system should have been working towards but, the self interest of the bigger clubs, coupled with the lack of vision and drive from the governing body, put paid to any worthwhile progress and the new format utterly ruins the chance of an additional French club making it into SL.
