Splitting Guinness Pro12 into two conferences of seven teams is a mistake, says Martyn WILLIAMS

TOTALLY agree with this – if you need weekends then lose the play-offs for this season just to see how the SA teams bed in. If the North American sides come in the following season then you can plan the conferences accordingly.

Smudgerblue MARTYN is spot on, they only need to accommodate the two new teams in the existing league. Hopefully organisers will see sense.

lordster THE problem with two separate groups is that as a supporter you only focus on the group with your team in. My concern is that any appreciation of one team is over-rated once the teams come together. The difference with one league is that your position at the end of the season is a true reflection of your position.
