Veteran Western Force flanker Matt Hodgson has warned Australia will be hit by a player exodus if SANZAAR does not make a quick decision on the future of Super Rugby.
And he says clubs will struggle to re-sign and attract new players in the current unsettled climate.
It is understood managers of players from clubs under threat are already talking to rival teams in Australia and overseas about next season.
Force foundation member Hodgson said speculation was damaging the Melbourne Rebels, Brumbies and Force whose futures are under a cloud.
“This is hurting Australian rugby,” Hodgson said.

It has been a bit of a Super Rugby fu...
Good to see Matt Hodgson speak out as both past Captain and as the local RUPA Rep.
SANZAAR & the ARU have turned this into situation which is just ripe for the Tahs and the Reds to take their picks from the squads of the Force, Rebels and Brumbies.
There's About 25 of the WF squad that are open to approaches from anywhere and the WF is effectively powerless to do anything about it.
Very tough for young players trying to settle into things such as home purchase or starting families.
The ongoing deferral is turning Super Rugby into even more of a cluster.
Would be good to see the ARU show some level of concern and action for the benefit of all of the professional rugby players rather than just those in the Wallabies squad.
Isn't there meant to be a public announcement this week?
I guess midnight Saturday is still this week.

I just hope if the force is the one to go ( and I hope not) The players just turn their backs on the ARU and try to get contract overseas.. I reckon some talent scouts would be watching games now..
I had a thought last night..If we are shown the door, what better way to express our displeasure with the ARU than a mass mooning at our last home game?![]()

I think you're onto something there Exile!Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
