What about back to back non-AI weekends so as sides can compete on an equal basis?

For instance:

Saints v Tigers
Exeter v Bath
Glaws v Wuss
Sale v Newcastle/Leeds (it is the future) - or failing that the other side available.

Whatever. Dates to be pe-detemined by agreement between the clubs and the fixtures to be preallocated by the paired sides.

Welford Rd is capable of creating a great atmosphere on it's own, as is Franklins Gardens, Kingsholm and Worcester's ground which now escapes my mind. Why bother moving them to a big football ground just to try and make a bit of extra cash?

No Sam.
I'm suggesting H/A back-to backs out of International windows for non-London clubs.

You wouldn't Kingshu. You get to agree with your local pair for consecutive head-to-heads.

London could too if they chose.

Fixture rigging is allowed.
