Can one of you non-cazzies expalin to me why they don't just do the RWC in the Summer? They wouldn't be competing with soccer, they wouldn't be competing with cricket as long as they choose a different time zone, and they won't have to intercede with the club rugby season.
An autumn world cup just seems to fuck over everything.
Why shouldn't the club rugby just keep going during the world cup? I'm struggling with your premise

Rugby is a winter sport, players might die. The club rugby seasons in most leagues get delayed during a WC year anyway.
Daniel Miller
because it detracts the highest talent away from the league? it seems like the top teams will suffer more than the shitter teams because they have more to lose?
