I'm kinda curious about how this whole condensed schedule thingy is gonna affect the teams that aren't as strong... like Scotland I mean, John Barclay's got a point there, they might get hammered by those stronger teams three times in a row But on the other hand, Jamie George's idea of getting players "right" and giving them more recovery time could be a game changer Maybe it'll actually help smaller nations to compete better, idk
I think the new schedule is gonna make the tournament more intense, but also more thrilling! The condensed format is like a breath of fresh air for fans who wanna see all their favorite teams go head-to-head in a shorter span of time. It's also great that it'll put less pressure on smaller nations like Scotland and Wales, cuz they often struggle against those stronger teams. But at the same time, I do feel bad for the players 'cause the recovery period is so short . And let's be real, this new format is all about the money, rite? It'll definitely bring in more fans and revenue for the organizers. Fingers crossed it works out smoothly and we get an epic tournament!
