Yeah I'm more interested in the world club competition that they have proposed for 2028 or whatever it is.

Qatar are closing in on an £800 million eight-year deal to host the finals of rugby’s Nations Championship after being granted exclusive negotiating rights.
Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy has entered a two-month exclusivity period with Six Nations Rugby and SANZAAR, the two governing bodies who own and will operate the new tournament, which is planned to begin in 2026.

Everyone needs the money. This is definitely happening.

It’s going to happen with that amount of money.
I would make one change: the 6th ranked team in the South plays the 7th ranked team in the South to see who comes up the Rugby Championship.
Likewise, 6th 6 nations team (Italy) play highest ranked Tier 2 team (Georgia) to see who gets into the 6 nations.
I know this won’t happen.

From a broadcast POV, Italy are worth more than twenty times as much as Georgia - there's zero chance of Georgia ever replacing Italy in the Six Nations (and while it would be nice a bit of moving around in the upper echelons, that financial loss would ultimately be bad for rugby as a whole).

@Mr-Fish I think @MiketheSnow point was that Italy weren't 6th...

Haha my post was really meant to be a (serious) response to @gt12!

That hadn't crossed my mind in fairness
My response was to why the fuck does the SH feel the need to stick their beaks into the 6 Nations
Sort your own shit out
And yes this 6N was very competitive
-
I'll believe you
But I take your point, although I'm not sure it's the whole of the SH, just @gt12 and he doesn't count anyway.

Thank fuck
You’ve earned your gin tonight gents
