A world club championship appears a realistic goal of the proposed rugby calendar revamp.
According to a BBC report World Rugby is set to consider a new season structure at its November meeting.
The main thrust is a scrapping of southern tours by northern unions in June the year after a Rugby World Cup and an alignment of the major provincial and club competitions on either side of the equator to finish in June.
If Super Rugby and the heavyweight competitions in Europe can be operated in symmetry, there is the real prospect of their best teams meeting to find who is the best "club" outfit in the world.
That opportunity could conveniently fall into that window the year after a World Cup.
