First topic message reminder :

Great to see this competition throwing up some great games in only its 2nd season.

Just goes to show what the HC could have been.

Great stuff and long may it continue. thumbsup

Yes there would be more mediocre Pro12 clubs and less mediocre English and French clubs.

Wasps finished outside the top 4 and smashed Toulon.

We don't need more of the Pro 12 teams.

In the end we have two broadcasters because all the participants wanted the huge amount offered by BT, while the Pro12 countries could not afford to be sued by Sky.

That is just nonsense.

1. BT Sport bribed the SRU for their vote (by sponsoring pretty much everything that moves in Scottish rugby) - that is what swung it. Absolutely no benefit to any other PRO12 country from the new deal (though Welsh Regions also received sponsorship for their teams).

2. The RFU & FFR had also agreed to the Sky deal as Board members of the ERC. In fact, the greatest champion of the Heineken Cup was a Frenchman and chairman of the ERC.

3. Sky Sports would not have sued the Unions - after all they have lots of other lucractive fish to fry such as Lions Tour, Six Nations broadcasting outside UK & Ireland etc. etc.

To be contrary, I wouldn't go back to the old cup version, because there were obvious inequities within it.

So no point in attempting to go back to that.

The question about whether the new version is/will be successful has to be treated separately. And what criteria are used to measure its success.

Don't think BT are that interested in sponsoring Irish sides because they would have to change their name to B&IT.

Have something against The letters B and T? BT owns British Telecommunications but they're bigger than that. They operate in 170 countries.

Nice to see Sin being very careful not to slag off any of the pro12 members, as it will reduce the leagues marketability.

... oh that's in the gutter already, Scarlet. The Campaign for B&I is already seeing to that. The members of that club don't need Sin joining them.

Not to the same extent as Scottish Rugby. I don't think Irish/Ulster Rugby would sell their vote to BT for a shoulder logo placement (which they have had for a number of years now anyway).

They offered to buy the IRFU vote by sponsoring all the Irish sides. The IRFU turned them down.

BT Sport declined to tender for the broadcasting rights to the PRO12. About a year later they are sponsoring most the teams & stadiums.
They tried to sponsor Irish teams (even though BT has very little business in ROI).

All this sponsorship offers came about when the Spivs were destroying the Heineken Cup and the SRU changed their vote to go with the Spivs.

No because the sponsorship on the Ulster shirts is worth peanuts and has no impact on decision making at Ulster or the IRFU.

Unpalatable as it may seem it is quite clear the SRU were brought by BT to come onside

I would like to think that your fellow countrymen, munchkin, marty, secretfly et al, are going to come on here and call you a tin hatted conspiracy theorist now. After all you cannot come up with these unfounded accusations without any evidence.

In April 2014 the European dispute was resolved.

In the following month BT and the SRU announced a  £20 naming rights deal for Murrayfield.
The following year a £3.6 million shirt sponsorship deal was announced

Between January 2014 and April 2014 the SRU did a complete U-turn on their position with respect to the outcome of the European situation

Draw your own conclusion.

Well you are conjuring up something that is not true. If it is then show us the proof.

Look, I do not mean to have a go, but the abuse people on here have been given from our Irish members when we suggest the same things in the Pro12 is unbelievable. There are so much double standards here, I just want the same people to come out and rubbish these claims as well.

Why do you think the SRU did a U-turn ?

To suggest the £20 million had nothing to do with in not believable

What is in the minutes is the SRU supporting the IRFU and WRU position in January and not in April

Guinness is as Irish as anything. The Harp is even on Leinsters crest. So there you go, keep the sponsors happy, and keep the Irish teams at the top of the league.

See how easy it is to work out evidence to meet your ends. Whistle

Straw man I am saying nothing of the sort.

The IRFU make mistakes as do other Unions.
I am also not claiming Unions change policy because of sponsorship.

However in this one incident the whole scenario stinks to high heaven and the sequencing of events is just too cute.
The SRU were in financial difs, along comes a fairy godmother and hey presto they change their opinion to match the wishes of said fairy godmother

Welcome to what we have to put up with when debating the issues in the Pro12. They are a marvelous bunch those boys from the emerald isles. Just to let you know Cyril, NOTHING IS EVER THE FAULT OF THE IRISH.
