If that’s the case it should just convert to a straightforward 12 team home and away league with top 4 playoff.

Nice wee spot is Bilbao.

A Spanish side based in Madrid would be required too please.

A quick calculation gives the four Irish teams 210 league points and the other eight with 165.

The four Irish teams are the only ones with positive points scored differences.

If I was Scottish, Welsh or Italian, I'd be more than a bit embarrassed.

Apart from Connaught, Irish teams have only lost to other Irish teams.

Should have called it the Pro4.
