Cross Border Super Cups Between Two Clubs From Different Nations. -
My idea is to expand the idea of cross border Super Cups at different sports.
The premise is the champions of two different nations, in the same sports play each other at one leg finals, at one of the participating team's stadiums. With the host nation changing each season.
The could be done at men's, women's, and youth sports, and at lower tiers and top tiers.
Ideas include;
Scottish - Welsh Super Cups.
Scottish - Irish Super Cups.
Scottish - English Super Cups.
Welsh - Irish Super Cups.
German - French Super Cups.
Spain - Portugal Super Cups.
Spain - France Super Cups.
Poland - France Super Cups.
Mexico - USA Super Cups.
Norway - Sweden Super Cups.
Italy - France Super Cups.
Switzerland - Austria Super Cups.
Greece - Turkey Super Cups.
Argentina - Brazil Super Cups.
Japan - China Super Cups.
India - China Super Cups.
USA - Scotland Super Cups.
Canada - USA Super Cups.
South Africa - Egypt Super Cups.
Saudi Arabia - UAE Super Cups.
Australia - Scotland Super Cups.
This could be done at club team sports at football (soccer), American football, baseball, rugby league, volleyball, basketball, cricket, rugby union, ice hockey, field hockey, netball, handball, water polo, or other sports.

If Croatia Can Do It Why Can't Scotland?
If Croatia can reach World Cup finals, then why can't Scotland?
If Uruguay can win two World Cups, why can't Scotland?
If Denmark and Greece can win European Championships, why can't Scotland?
On the other hand Scottish club sides have won 4 European club trophies. So it is perhaps a case of nation's getting trophies at club or global level standards.
Women's Club Rugby Union European Cup / League Or Rugby Union Women's Club World Cup.
With the French, English and Celtic Nations now having club leagues. Should we have a European Cup / league for the leading club sides, between the club sides from England, France, Scotland, Ireland and Wales? Maybe even the winners of the USA Women's Premier League could play the champions of the Women's Club Rugby European Cup.
Portugal, Germany, and Italy also have women's rugby union leagues. So their champs could take part.
Perhaps even Southern Hemisphere clubs could play the winner of such a set up in a women's rugby union club cup.
There are other possibilities
A Women's English - USA Trophy, between the champions of the USA and England rugby union leagues.
A Women's French - USA Trophy between the champions of the French and USA leagues at women's rugby union.
A Women's Celtic - USA Trophy between the champions of the Celtic and USA rugby union leagues.
A Women's French - English Challenge Trophy between the champions of France and England.
A Women's Celtic - England Trophy between the champions of the Celtic Challenge League and English Leagues.
European Rugby Union Super League IDEA.
Would it be a good idea to have a European Rugby Union Super
League?
With a pyramid system, perhaps using the Swiss Model System.
With promotion and relegation into and out of the league system.
With a knockout trophy for teams to qualify for promotion
into the European Rugby Union Super League.
There could be 20 teams from France, 19 from England, 2 from
Scotland, 1 from Cornwall, 4 from Wales, 2 from Italy, 4 from Ireland, 1 from Georgia, 1 from
Portugal, 1 from Spain, 1 from Poland, 1 from Romania, 1 from Belgium, and 1 from Germany.
There could even be invited sides from outside Europe. Such
as 4 sides from South Africa, 1 from the USA, and 1 from Canada. Perhaps individual
franchises could be funded from Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
The champions of a European Rugby Union Super League could play the champions of the Super Rugby trophy.
There could be men's and women's European leagues.
It could allow rugby union to compete with soccer, and the big American sports.

My Views On Scottish And Welsh Rugby Pro And International Sides.
For Wales.
I think Wales have had a good century as an international side, and I think that comes from having the pro regional sides. The pro sides develop the talented Welsh players.
Some people seem to think that the only point in the regional sides, is to win trophies. But I think the main priority is to develop talented Welsh players who can play for the Welsh international side.
Also, every Wales qualified player should be available regardless of which league they play in.
Do not avoid players playing in French or English rugby club sides.
The main priority of the Welsh regions should be to develop a conveyor belt of talent. And it should be looked on as a positive when Welsh players move from the regions to the French or English league as it opens up a new opportunity for a Welsh player in the Welsh region sides.
Also I think Wales should use a London Welsh side to help develop players.
Also keep the Welsh regions in the URC.
And keep having a strong Welsh rugby divisional system.
For Scotland.
Have the pro sides. But I also think ideas could be;
Use London Scottish to develop players.
Invest in the Scottish second string team to play tier 3 or tier 2 nations. That could develop more players for international rugby union.

Swiss Model For Scottish League Cup Group Stages.
In the Champions League, and Europa League, they are using the Swiss Model. With a league table for all the sides despite not all teams playing each other.
My idea is they could use this system in the Scottish League Cup Group Stages.
With one league table for all teams in the group stages.
All teams play teams of different rankings. So they do not play every team in the league table, but they all play enough teams of different rankings to play in the same league table.
The teams in Europe would qualify for the knockout stages with a bye.
Or maybe even all teams play a limited number of group games, then the top two teams play in a final.
UEFA Champions League Swiss Model System Champions
My idea is that which team ends up top of the UEFA Champions League League Phase Table should get a pennant. The system, uses the new Swiss Model. I know it is just the qualification stage for the knockout stages. But I think which team ends up top of the league phase should get a pennant, as League Phase Champs.
The same for the teams who end up top of the league phases of the Europa League and Conference League.

Welsh - Scottish Football Club Silver Cups.
I think Scottish, and Welsh club sides should play each other more often at competitive club trophies, while keeping their own leagues.
Scottish, and Welsh club sides played each other in the Scottish Challenge Cup for a few years, so cross border games are allowed.
My ideas include;
A. A trophy between the champions of the Scottish Highland League, Scottish Lowland League, Welsh Cymru North, and Welsh Cymru South. Perhaps a four or two team trophy. Either two of the champions or all four champions. The trophy could be played at one of the participating team's stadia.
The one match final ideas include;
B. A Welsh - Scottish Football Club Silver Cup. Contested between the champions of the Cymru Welsh Premier, and the champions of the Scottish second tier Scottish Championship.
This would be a one match final, played at one of the participating teams stadiums. With the host nation changing each season. One match would not be a huge addition to the season.
C. A Scottish - Welsh Football Club Cup Winners Silver Cup. Contested between the winners of the Welsh Cup, and the Scottish lower tier Scottish Challenge Cup.
This would be a one match final, played at one of the participating teams stadiums. With the host nation changing each season. One match would not be a huge addition to the season.

Bridge Over A Sports Pitch At A Stadium.
How about a pitch for sports matches or concerts that has a bridge over the stadium, for fans to get aerial views of the match or concert?
This could be done at stadiums or arenas for games like soccer, American football, basketball, baseball, tennis, cricket, shinty, Gaelic games, Aussie rules football, ice hockey, hockey, volleyball, netball, snooker, darts, boxing, MMA, or other sports.
The bridge or bridges could be constructed high up above the game field, to look down on the pitch. With see through sides. The bridge could be enclosed for safety and to ensure play is not interfered with. The bridge could even have sections with glass or see through plastic floors for people to walk over with an aerial view of the game or match.
The bridge could be used for walking over, or sitting, and watching the event. It could be a luxury section for VIPs, or for ordinary fans.
So it could be directly over the pitch.

Wales V Scotland At Cricket International Level.
I think Scotland should play Wales in an international select match.
I understand Wales play as part of the combined Wales and England side in test matches, limited overs, and T20 games. I am happy for Wales to play as part of the combined England and Wales side, or to go as their own side at international level. But my view is that even if Wales decide to stay as part of the combined Wales and England side, they could still play select matches against Scotland at cricket. Like the way Australia and other countries sometimes play select matches against the English counties, as friendlies.
If Australia can play English counties, then Scotland surely could play the nation of Wales.
My idea is that Wales could choose players from Glamorgan and other counties to play Scotland.
Perhaps the Welsh Minor Counties team could play Scotland.
Also Wales could play nations likes Ireland, the Netherlands, France, Australia, Bangladesh, India, and the USA.
I also think a Cornwall select could play Scotland.
