Poised for Super rugby status, but do we care?

I wonder whether the NZRU expressed an opinion either way, or just bided its time.

i believe the thinking in NZ is that the stronger australian rugby is, then the stronger new zealand rugby can be, because a lot of the same companies operate in australia and new zealand, which opens the door for greater sponsorship deals then what could be available with south africa.
