Then why play prem games?? Or more to the point why play the internationals? I just feel a little cheated that the two best possible teams are not engaging at WR today.

........There is no immediate remedy, I lnow, but it still feels wrong!

The remedy is simple. Play no internationals during the league season.
If we must have a tournament at the end of the season, make it the six nations.
Scrap the AIs all together.

without the AIs we'd only get to play any Southern hemisphere teams once every 4 years (and then presumably only 2 or 3 of them depending on World Cup groupings and how far teams progress etc).

if anything the 6Nations is the over played competition, take them out and it frees 5 weekends
