This is true Mike, but these comparisons are not like-for-like. We already have an NCL which, akin to the 4NCL, has a degree of 'relaxation' re: team composition.
The Richardson Cup is, and always has been, different in this respect. From the comments so far, there is still a desire from many to keep it that way.
Having played the 4NCL for a season I would happily see our own SNCL version of it grow into something similar, but personally feel the Richardson Cup should attempt to remain as an 'elite Scottish team competition' in as many respects as possible.
