Siale Piutau to leave Bristol at the end of the season

I've typed out a reply regarding the pool format but I won't send it if you don't answer my question.

Applicants I mean to say, the most teams wanting to be a part of it. I think it only fair the get an applicable share (just reiterating my old point).

Agreed with 4 pool of 4 and home and away games?

I don't have much of an opinion about how it should be done. It isn't my preferred system as I think there should be a significant number of teams who qualify directly as a result of their performance in the previous year's CC. But I think 6/5/5 or 6/6/4 would probably make the most sense as splits if they ever did go over to the UEFA model.

Concussion is also an issue that has seen sports like ultimate frisbee gain ground. All competitions and clubs should integrate touch rugby teams into their pathways. Whenever clubs play XVs games, they should also be taking 20mins to play a competitive touch rugby game too.

Then take rugby branding and move it away from the fringe game that only crazy people play and make it an exercise-first sport that caters to everyone including people who don't want contact.

Not sure it would be fair to judge McKellar on Leicester, it’s a tough gig with that dressing room and looked more like a poor fit more than anything else.

Would be a shock if O’Gara would touch it, he publicly dismissed Wales recently but covets France, England and Ireland - in that order.

Cotter would be interesting and he’s got qualities but he’s also got some elements of Eddie Jones about him believe it or not - he had the Scotland wc squad in camp, believe it or not, with the French foreign legion and ripping the heads off chickens!

You also insisted you knew how the UEFA system works, despite the fact that the UEFA system doesn't assume a 1:1 correspondance between points and places.

The video isn't hard to find and very damning.

In other words there is no rule that says that X number of points should translate to Y number of places, unless you came up with that rule.

So I ask again:

How did you come to the conclusion that half of the champions cup teams would be french if a UEFA style points system was adopted?

Why are you being so evasive about this?
