Club World Cup Gets Stuart Lancaster's vote
Leinster and former England head coach Stuart Lancaster reckons a club Rugby World Cup competition would be a 'great step forward'.
The idea of a club World Cup has been floated by Bernard Laporte and the idea is something that really appeals to Stuart Lancaster.
The former England boss would love to see Leinster go up against the giants of the southern hemisphere if there was a way that World Rugby managed to calibrate the various factions and come up with a global calendar.
"With the magic wand and the new global season that we'll all hopefully see in the future, that would be brilliant," he said.
"It would be brilliant to actually do that - to actually create some form of competition, albeit whether it's the winners of each league or the top four or whatever.
"I wonder whether TV and the drive for growing the game would want that. I think they would, personally.
"I don't know how you'd do it. Obviously, i'm not privy to all that sort of stuff but a chance for Leinster to play the Crusaders for example, who wouldn't want to watch a game like that?
