The failure to implement promotion and relegation from the 6N will always limit the growth of the sport in this part of the world. Georgia famously won away in Wales as part of the autumn internationals a couple of years ago.
Imagine if there was a promotion play-off between Wales and Georgia this year and Georgia won!
The first problem would be - there would be no Triple Crown.
Even if Wales evolved into total sh*te there is no way they could be kicked out of the 6N.
Wales/Italy/Scotland won't sign up to it as the loss of money for being relegated would probably be colossal.
There would have to be a guarantee of a certain percentage of the big cash for relegated teams but it'd be turkeys voting for Christmas why would they risk it?
