	French boycott 2008 Heineken Cup - Rugby Union News - Telegraph
		The Rugby Football Union, and its failure to resolve its ongoing dispute with its clubs, has been blamed for the withdrawal by French teams from next season's Heineken Cup.
		Clubs in England and France have been pushing for reform in the running of the Heineken Cup, which is significantly less lucrative than domestic league and cup competitions despite its prestige and huge appeal.
		Matches in the Top 14, France's domestic league, will be played throughout the duration of the 2007 World Cup, but the Heineken Cup will only begin when the showpiece finishes.

	French clubs to boycott Heineken Cup : Sports
		PARIS - The future of the Heineken Cup looks decidedly shaky after French clubs decided to boycott next year's competition citing the conflict in England between the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and Premiership clubs.
		The Heineken Cup is Europe's top competition and the withdrawal of leading French clubs is bound to have serious repercussions both for spectators as well as for the managing associations because of lost revenue.
		Another reason for this unilateral action might be the 2007 World Cup, which is sure to play havoc with domestic scheduling in France.

	IOL: France to boycott Heineken Cup
		A spokesperson for European Rugby Cup (ERC), which organises the Heineken Cup and second tier Challenge Cup, said that the French announcement would not affect the current review of the format and regulations of both competitions.
		Blanco has long been an outspoken defender of the French club competition and said that next season, when France host the World Cup in September and October, the combination of internationals and Heineken Cup matches would place intolerable pressure on the French league and the English Premiership.
		In April 2006 he threatened a French boycott of the Heineken Cup because he wanted France and England to have more representation in its organisation on the basis of their strong playing record and wanted to reduce the number of qualification slots from Wales and Ireland.
