Tournament has no promotion/relegation

CNN  — 

Should there be promotion and relegation in the Six Nations, Europe’s elite international rugby tournament?

Georgia’s head coach Milton Haig speaks to CNN’s Alex Thomas about his team’s hopes of taking part in the competition.

Georgia has won Europe’s second-tier tournament eight times in the past nine years.

The East European nation is ranked 12th in the world, two places higher than Italy – which was added to the old Five Nations format in 2000.
