Talk over just what rugby union will look like after the 2019 Rugby World Cup is currently dominating the news agenda. Here we look at all the issues around the global calendar.?What is the global calendar?There has been an increase in the volume of calls for a more harmonized season between the north and southern hemisphere. At present the southern hemisphere finishes in November with the end-of-year Tests and starts again in February while the northern hemispheres runs from August through to June.World Rugby and stakeholders from the top leagues and unions have been locked in discussions over whats the best model for rugby to take forward from 2019. Its a difficult task to tackle when you have different interests from around the world and the financial side to navigate.Player welfare is also imperative. After Wales tour to New Zealand last June, Steve Hansen said the All Blacks 3-0 triumph was a great advert for a global calendar as his side had come into it fresh while Warren Gatlands team had just ground out a gruelling season.The global calendar would be a compromised agreement over where Tests are played in the year and where annual tournaments like the Six Nations and Rugby Championship fit in.Why the urgency?At present there are no international fixtures in the calendar from 2019 onwards. New Zealand have threatened to do their own thing if theres no resolution but the general feeling is that the stakeholders are close to finding some resolution.Whats the latest plan?According to the BBC, the latest proposed structure would see the summer tours moved to July with the Aviva Premiership, Top 14 and Guinness PRO12 all finishing in June. The Six Nations would stay put, as would the Rugby Championship, while northern hemisphere sides would not tour the summer following a Rugby World Cup.What does it mean for the Aviva Premiership, PRO12 and Top 14? The latest plan would see the Aviva Premiership and PRO12 start a month later and finish in June rather than May. This would bring it closer to the Super Rugby season which starts in February and would potentially finish earlier than its current July final.The Top 14, which runs from August to June, could be changed to a new format, according to The Times, which would see conferences brought in to make the season shorter.What are the implications for the Test windows?The financial side of these discussions are key. The southern hemisphere sides want a greater cut of the money generated from the end-of-year matches in the northern hemisphere.If the June Test series -- one where the northern hemisphhere sides travel south -- are scrapped the year after a World Cup then there will be a financial gulf to fill as they are big money earners for the host countries.ddddddddddddBut without the northern hemisphere sides travelling south, the tier two countries in that part of the world could tee up fixtures against the rugby superpowers.What will happen to the Six Nations and Rugby Championship?The latest suggested plan would see the Six Nations and the Rugby Championship keep their current slots. RFU CEO Ian Ritchie has previously spoken of a general unwillingness to switch the Six Nations from its current February/March home. It suits the Six Nations to play then as there arent as many rival sports tournaments being played.Why would you want to change something that works really well? Ritchie said in July. We have a great TV deal, we have stadia that are full for every game.So I cant see there being [any] significant move in that.Where do the British & Irish Lions fit in?The Lions will probably keep their traditional slot on a quadrennial cycle. Nothing is set in stone, wed like it to be and it probably will be. Its logical, Lions CEO John Feehan said.The one good thing about a Lions tour is that it happens at a time in the sporting season where its not up against a European finals, a World Cup, Olympics... it has its own slot.What do the stakeholders say?A solution will be found and there is a will to find a solution for it. I think a few lines in the sand have been drawn up by various organisations but I think common sense will see us reach an agreement. --?World Rugby chairman Bill BeaumontWith Bill we want to get it right. It wont be perfect, but we are going to sort it out. --?World Rugby vice-chairman Agustin PichotI dont think its [current calendar] right. Ive spoken to Ian Ritchie about it and we are in agreement. Ian is going to try to push that forward to World Rugby. --?England coach Eddie JonesEvery year, were getting asked to play extra games. [NZRU CEO Steve Tew] Tewie is right on the money. If we organise our own games, Im sure well get plenty of Northern Hemisphere takers who will to play us. They fill their stadiums when we play and they make a lot of money. --?New Zealand coach Steve HansenWhen will we get resolution?The hope is the future of rugbys calendar will be set in stone by the end of the year. World Rugby have a council meeting at the end of November where hopefully we will have resolution. ' ' '
