WHY NOT GET SOME REAL DEPTH INTO A WORLD SERIES OF RUGBY

Recently, we've seen an idea that the IRB want to start a World Series of Rugby, but confined to the top ten teams!

Here's a great suggestion.....

Why not play it in three pools - A the top ten, B the second ten and C the third ten, with promotion and relegation. Play matches on the same day, even as double headers in some cases.

Based on World seedings - an absolute no-brainer, I would have thought, with at least the final of each pool, being played at the same place on the same day, or weekend. So you could have, for example Georgia v Namibia, Canada v Japan and Australia v New Zealand all played on the same day at whatever venue (Wembley, or Homebush).

If you played it over two days you could maybe have two doubleheaders, maybe a Barbarians type fixture or something or a Sevens final
