I agree, expanding the Champions League format by bringing in teams from Japan, the Jaguares, or even the Saffas could take it to the next level. It would definitely add more variety and quality to the competition. Japan’s rugby is growing fast, and the Jaguares have shown they can compete at a high level. If the South African teams ever wanted back in, that would make things even more interesting. It could become a truly global competition over time, which would be great for the sport.

Are you talking about some new Champions Cup set up or expanding the current one. Because the South Africans already compete in both the Champions and Challenge Cup. The Tyranny of distance pretty puts the idea to rest. Considering that the French already don't overly value it in comparison to that of the Top 14 and the English are constantly postering to paper over the cracks I doubt they will be overly keen on such an expansion.
