That's just pathetic.

The tournament was a precedent to them when they had a winner or a favourite every year and now that it has got tougher with the emergence of the Celtic League teams they are happy to turn their back on it.

The English club teams have fas much reason to complain about fixture congestion (10 of next years 22 GP games are played on International weekends) than the French do.

This tournament has become the flagship of Eurpoean club rugby and they are feckin' killing it now. feckers.

Fixture congestion next year. They are delaying the start of their own championship until after the World Cup.

That will mean their own league games will probably coincide with HC weekends.

England are in the same situation but appreciate the HC alot more and aren't selfish pricks.
