I read this bit from Steve's post yesterday:

"Reports say the format of the Champions Cup could be changed to make room in the calendar for the new event".

Then I read your interpretation:
"The new comp won't have an impact on player welfare/duration of season because the 'North v South' KO games will be instead of the Champions Cup KO stage for that season..."

Baxter mentions the extra travel costs but forgets the extra income from prize money (1/4 final must be more than last 16) and big home matches.

I've had a quick look for the figures but I can't find them. 

It's sillier than I thought.

The monies raised in the rest of the champions cup are shared equally between the 3 leagues (urc, prem top14). Prem share this prize equally amongst the 10.

Yes that's been the case for the entirety of the European Cup in all its forms.

To be fair English clubs hardly need to go to Europe to make a financial loss do they?

Rugby Championship may be halved by new All Black-Boks tours

Quote
A revival of long-haul tours between South Africa and New Zealand could result in the Rugby Championship only being held every other year.

The South African Rugby Union has announced a plan to host the All Blacks for eight matches, external - featuring games against provincial and South Africa A sides and a three-Test series - in 2026.

The Springboks would travel to New Zealand on a similar itinerary in 2030 in a concept being tagged as 'The Greatest Rugby Rivalry'.

"[Rugby Championship organisers] Sanzaar haven't finalised any of that, but I think that you'd be focusing more on series trophies rather than a Rugby Championship trophy," Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh told The Roar , externalwhen asked what the plans meant for the Wallabies.

He added that he expected the Rugby Championship to take place in 2027 and 2029, but not in 2026, 2028 and 2030, with Australia instead hoping to host their own stand-alone tours in those years.

'Rugby will die without new plan' - World Rugby candidate Benazzi

Quote
Former France international Abdelatif Benazzi says rugby union faces an existential crisis if it fails to find new markets and bring more cash into the game.

The 56-year-old is running to lead World Rugby when Bill Beaumont steps down as chairman in November.

"Since the pandemic, it is the first time we have seen all the federations, even the historic ones, in trouble with their revenues," he told BBC Sport.

"Rugby is in trouble around the world. We will die if everyone stays on his own side. We have to think collectively."

...

A new global calendar is due to come in in 2026 to help boost revenues, with the world's top 12 Test nations taking part in a Rugby Nations Championship, culminating in a weekend of finals in late autumn to decide the winners and final rankings.

World Rugby reportedly turned down a lucrative proposal from Qatar to host the climax of the first four editions of the biennial tournament in 2025, 2028, 2030 and 2032., external

Benazzi, currently a French Rugby Union (FFR) vice-President, believes there is still scope to revive the plan, albeit on a smaller scale and with Qatari commitment to human rights.

"Qatar have improved a lot of things in their country and sport has helped accelerate integration and understanding for the culture," explained Benazzi, who attended the 2022 Fifa World Cup in the country.

"I was very impressed with the Qataris' interest in sport and their open mind about women. It is a new path and we have to find a new market, and new countries to host.

"We refused Qatar with five finals. They come back now maybe with interest for one final - that's interesting. We don't close the door.

"But we won't sell our rugby and lose our values. We have to discuss with everyone."

Rugby Football Union chief executive Bill Sweeney has previously suggested London may stage the first edition of the tournament in 2026, while the 2030 tournament could take place in the United States to help raise the sport's profile before men's and women's Rugby World Cups in the country in 2031 and 2033 respectively.

That itinerary could pave the way for the 2028 event to be staged in the Middle East.
