Plenty talk on Italy again so repeating these points:

1. Yes, Italy are above Georgia.
2. A few started absurdly exaggerating extent of this.
3. Point 1 also comes with context of Italy getting many millions more in 6N money.
4. Yes, status quo unfair on Georgia & others. (1/3)

5. But no, promotion/relegation likely won't raise overall level.
6. Overall European rugby goal should aim to be inclusionary and expand to more teams involved.
7. Recent U20 improvement of Italy, Georgia, & Iberians one of most positive developments in sport right now. (2/3)

8. Point 7 will take time to show at senior level.
9. Bashing Italy after every bad 6N loss is not helping Georgia, & point 6 is better achieved with them doing well.
10. Italy should play Tier 2 and a more balanced overall scheduled that gives chance for more wins anyway. (3/3)

Also finally a couple last points.
- Last November Georgia entered with minimal prep, a ramshackle coaching setup, & half the squad not played for months. It cannot be used as baseline of where they may be in 2/3 years.
- 6N should be under more pressure to help Spain women too.
