Sale\u2019s match was played on the same day as England\u2019s mammoth Rugby World Cup Quarter-Final tie with Fiji and Sanderson admits playing alongside the international tournament isn\u2019t the best approach by the league.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt’s not ideal, is it?<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if we’re going well, it might just get some leakage into the domestic game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean it happens every autumn, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it has been happening every Six Nations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the restructuring of this season, where there’s no games during the Six Nations, allows most of your internationals to be back for more games, is an improvement.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it’s only not that ideal if you could have it an extra three weeks and play into July, is probably a better option.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
