Jonathan,
I think you are slightly missing the point here. We all know that a 2400 who doesn't play for six months will still be stronger than a 2100 who plays a lot. Indeed, they will almost certainly be stronger if they don't play for a decade. Andy's reform isn't about getting the strongest team in 2018, it is about creating a culture where the top players play more to the benefit of everyone so that Scotland will have the strongest possible team in 2028.
