Fixing the IRB series

KT: It's a tough tournament [the London Sevens] for many. Long gap between 3rd and 4th leg. Series pretty much won. I'm sure it's the longest gap. Just check that if you are on your computer
PE: 6 week gap. 5 week gap between US and Hong Kong
KT: Really? Feels longer
PE: It's the media warm up, cool down cycle
KT: I think a 5 tournament series, that ends in HK would be better. The last tournament worth more points. Hong Kong is a 30-pointer
PE: That'd make it less predictable
KT: More teams would be in the running in the last week. As it is now, this leg is dead.
PE: I think we still need a tournament in Europe though.
KT: Ok. Let's redo the series
Dubai can fuck off as their economy is rooted
PE: Agreed, they offer no rabid fans or atmosphere either
KT: George we keep
Adelaide can fuck off too
Scotland and England alternate each year
So: George, Europe, USA, NZ, HK
PE: Which is the standalone? HK?
ZA-EU leg, US-NZ leg
KT: Nah! Fuck the legs! One tournament every fortnight.
We're done in two months
PE: Gee! That could be hard on the team selection. You'd need to have a pool of reserves picked at the beginning of the series and swap people on the road
KT: Well, we aren't on the road. We play and go home
But if you insist on legs, we can have legs ... Just less of a gap between them
PE: 2 legs, each tournament at adjacent weekends. 3 week gap between legs
KT: Cool, I can live with that
PE: Insert risque joke about spreading those legs?
KT: Cool, go ahead and make this a post: "Fixing the IRB series"
PE: Nice innuendo in the title
