It depends I think upon whether the aim is more rugby, better rugby or popular rugby. In the end it will be key that talks but expect a lot of resistance to change from the current 6N countries along the way. You don't lightly throw away 100+ years of tradition.
They did exactly that for France and Italy.

Spain are about a decade away from entry to the Six Nations.
Like Georgia? 😉

It's unlikely Georgia will ever get admitted.
They don't have the economy or accessibility of Spain etc, and their whole rugby ecosphere could collapse if their billionaire investor pulls out so it's a slightly risky proposition.

That's probably the wrong word. A) Because France came in after 27 years (minus WW1) and
Because the basis of the tournament hasn't changed. The original countries remained and there was no prospect of relegation. You start adding more teams without relegation, it then becomes unwieldy. -

I can imagine heading to away games in Munich, Barcelona, Lisbon would be slightly more attractive than Cardiff, Edinburgh, Dublin.
Why?
If you want a cheap city break then I hear Easy Jet may be able to help

We may be very shit at the moment, with all comers wanting to have a go at putting the boot in, but one thing you can say about Cardiff is when there’s a match you fucking know there’s a match on
Can that be said for many places around the world?

@MiketheSnow just my imagination fella, don't take it personally.

I’m not
I’m a realist
And let’s not forget that despite an exciting RWC campaign, Scotland B just murdered Portugal

Oh well in my imagination I'd rather go to the places in mainland Europe, I just don't think I'd be alone in that thinking.
When I was younger, definitely not.
Rome was awesome when I went to watch the ABs and I reckon the others would do just as good a job.
