Serge Blanco floats boycott (and world club championship?)

March 28, 2006

French league president Serge Blanco has warned European Rugby Cup (ERC), the organisers of the Heineken Cup, that his teams could boycott the competition in the 2007/8 season, according to reports from France.

In a long interview with France's Midi-Olympique newspaper, Blanco said that he wanted a change in the way the cup was organised.

Rugby Planet has been all over this, including a lengthy interview from last October where Blanco floated the idea of a world club championship.
