Encouraging more UK teams to build, prepare and compete for a Euro/Worlds place should be an embodied principle, not a reluctant or begrudging eventuality! Enabling teams to play against each other including the elite is the only way the enlarging second tier will improve and challenge for higher honours. As you say, the quality of the performances of the last five teams were infinitely better that those of 2011, perhaps in a more marked ratio than the top three?
If the competition for places intensifies so much the better. Building our house on a reduction policy cannot be good in the longer term.
