I'll not complain if we draw the Ospreys away that weekend
I'm sure EOS would like a few internationals 'rotated' out that weekend too.
But there is a faint whiff of hypocrisy if the welsh are to set aside their demand to play full-strength sides, when they get the opportunity for a real money-spinner against the all blacks.

Is the league close to a sponsorship deal?Though a resolution was found relatively quickly, it spelled disaster for Jordan's attempts to find a title sponsor and attract the big broadcasters for a fourth successive year.
As a result his priority is to broker a solid long-term agreement, for a competition over the next three or four years, between the three unions.
He said he hoped that this could be sorted out within the next month or so.
That means 7 home games and seven away games per season not the now 10 home and ten away. Not sure it is an improvement."There are commercial opportunities in introducing a new country, but you also have to weigh up how a move to 14 home or away games, rather than 20 home and away, affects other markets, and whether existing broadcasters feel it is an improvement or not.

As far as broadcasters go I don't think any of them give a toss about us anyway Setanta can't tell me if I would receive the Setanta Ireland games or not BBc NI just don't care And the only reason BBC Wales show us is because they can't edit out the players when we are playing a Welsh side
“That made me feel very special and underlined to me that Ulster is more than a team, it is a community and a rugby family"
