Talk over just what rugby union will look like after the 2019 Rugby World Cup is currently dominating the news agenda. Here we look at all the issues around the global calendar.?What is the global calendar?There has been an increase in the volume of calls for a more harmonized season between the north and southern hemisphere. At present the southern hemisphere finishes in November with the end-of-year Tests and starts again in February while the northern hemispheres runs from August through to June.World Rugby and stakeholders from the top leagues and unions have been locked in discussions over whats the best model for rugby to take forward from 2019. Its a difficult task to tackle when you have different interests from around the world and the financial side to navigate.Player welfare is also imperative. After Wales tour to New Zealand last June, Steve Hansen said the All Blacks 3-0 triumph was a great advert for a global calendar as his side had come into it fresh while Warren Gatlands team had just ground out a gruelling season.The global calendar would be a compromised agreement over where Tests are played in the year and where annual tournaments like the Six Nations and Rugby Championship fit in.Why the urgency?At present there are no international fixtures in the calendar from 2019 onwards. New Zealand have threatened to do their own thing if theres no resolution but the general feeling is that the stakeholders are close to finding some resolution.Whats the latest plan?According to the BBC, the latest proposed structure would see the summer tours moved to July with the Aviva Premiership, Top 14 and Guinness PRO12 all finishing in June. The Six Nations would stay put, as would the Rugby Championship, while northern hemisphere sides would not tour the summer following a Rugby World Cup.What does it mean for the Aviva Premiership, PRO12 and Top 14? The latest plan would see the Aviva Premiership and PRO12 start a month later and finish in June rather than May. This would bring it closer to the Super Rugby season which starts in February and would potentially finish earlier than its current July final.The Top 14, which runs from August to June, could be changed to a new format, according to The Times, which would see conferences brought in to make the season shorter.What are the implications for the Test windows?The financial side of these discussions are key. The southern hemisphere sides want a greater cut of the money generated from the end-of-year matches in the northern hemisphere.If the June Test series -- one where the northern hemisphere sides travel south -- are scrapped the year after a World Cup then there will be a financial gulf to fill as they are big money earners for the host countries.But without the northern hemisphere sides travelling south, the tier two countries in that part of the world could tee up fixtures against the rugby superpowers.What will happen to the Six Nations and Rugby Championship?The latest suggested plan would see the Six Nations and the Rugby Championship keep their current slots. RFU CEO Ian Ritchie has previously spoken of a general unwillingness to switch the Six Nations from its current February/March home. It suits the Six Nations to play then as there arent as many rival sports tournaments being played.Why would you want to change something that works really well? Ritchie said in July. We have a great TV deal, we have stadia that are full for every game.So I cant see there being [any] significant move in that.Where do the British & Irish Lions fit in?The Lions will probably keep their traditional slot on a quadrennial cycle. Nothing is set in stone, wed like it to be and it probably will be. Its logical, Lions CEO John Feehan said.The one good thing about a Lions tour is that it happens at a time in the sporting season where its not up against a European finals, a World Cup, Olympics... it has its own slot.What do the stakeholders say?A solution will be found and there is a will to find a solution for it. I think a few lines in the sand have been drawn up by various organisations but I think common sense will see us reach an agreement. --?World Rugby chairman Bill BeaumontWith Bill we want to get it right. It wont be perfect, but we are going to sort it out. --?World Rugby vice-chairman Agustin PichotI dont think its [current calendar] right. Ive spoken to Ian Ritchie about it and we are in agreement. Ian is going to try to push that forward to World Rugby. --?England coach Eddie JonesEvery year, were getting asked to play extra games. [NZRU CEO Steve Tew] Tewie is right on the money. If we organise our own games, Im sure well get plenty of Northern Hemisphere takers who will to play us. They fill their stadiums when we play and they make a lot of money. --?New Zealand coach Steve HansenWhen will we get resolution?The hope is the future of rugbys calendar will be set in stone by the end of the year. World Rugby have a council meeting at the end of November where hopefully we will have resolution.Sammy Baugh Jersey .

Bradwell was scheduled to become a free agent Tuesday. Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts. Dexter Manley Youth Jersey . By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. Sam Huff Womens Jersey . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St.TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Jalen Hurts and Nick Fitzgerald are still cultivating their passing abilities.In the meantime, No. 1 Alabamas Hurts and Mississippi States Fitzgerald are already good enough runners to make any defense wary. They enter Saturdays meeting as the Southeastern Conferences top running quarterbacks, especially with Texas A&Ms Trevor Knight going down with a shoulder injury.Fitzgerald is the Bulldogs primary running threat while Hurts has also made a number of his plays with his feet, especially when the passing game isnt clicking for the Crimson Tide.Hurts topped 100 rushing yards in both of the Tides closest games, against Mississippi and No. 19 LSU. The LSU game was the first when the freshman produced more yards rushing (114) than passing (107), and Hurts 21-yard run accounted for the only touchdown in a 10-0 Alabama win.Both quarterbacks are still works in progress as passers.Were focused on trying to get our quarterback to be a little more complete in what he needs to do to be an all-around good quarterback, Alabama coach Nick Saban said. Were certainly trying to make progress with a young player and hes responding in a positive way, so were going to continue to work on that.Ditto with Fitzgerald, whos coming off two big games. The sophomore and Dak Prescotts successor has accounted for 927 total yards and 11 touchdowns in Mississippi States wins over Samford and No. 10 Texas A&M.The thing that helps him is hes got great athletic ability which allows him to improvise and make things happen on the field while hes developing to be a passer, Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen said.Fitzgerald is eighth in the SEC in passingg, one spot ahead of Hurts.ddddddddddddMeanwhile, both quarterbacks are finding ways to make plays. Fitzgerald is the SECs fifth-leading rusher with 839 yards and eight touchdowns. Hurts 635 yards ranks 12th but he has also run for 10 TDs.Hurts has the luxury of a deep stable of running help that includes three tailbacks who have produced 100-yard games. But when in doubt, he has been the most likely quarterback to take off running of Sabans Alabama tenure.His athleticism is a huge part of our offense and has really contributed this year, Tide center Bradley Bozeman said. Were really lucky to have him on our squad.Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs will face the nations top run defense. Hurts may have more passing opportunities than he did against LSUs strong secondary since hes facing the leagues worst pass defense.In the meantime, Saban has grown accustomed to the increased prevalence of rushing quarterbacks, though in past seasons it has mostly been from the perspective of trying to defend them.We went through the Wildcat phase where we ran some of these plays with a running back, but you knew that that guy couldnt pass, Saban said. Now, were running some of the same kind of plays as part of the spread that are actually with a quarterback.When you have a talented guy thats big and strong and athletic and can throw it pretty well, too, it makes it a very challenging thing to do to be able to play both of those things.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
