    A rival competition.

    Back in early 90s there was a rival rugby league competition started up called Super League

    In basic terms "f@rk the FUARU ". Maybe we will start an Asian pacific league? Who knows! It's no different to what some guy called Packer did with the cricket!

    Fiji
    Samoa
    Force
    Argentina club side
    South African club side
    A kiwi NPC side

    Could work

    People are losing interest in Super rugby because there are too many teams, the comp fixtures are convoluted, there are too many games and a lot of mismatches. Dropping to 15 sides won't really fix it I don't think.

    Nope Fiji Samoa Tonga Singapore Hong kong Maybe a Japanese side Force Anybody else in the time zone that can compete Enough teams to put together a meaningful home & away with a sensible finals series but not too many to make travel a Pain. Qualify for world cup through Asia and call the ARU what they actually are, eastern Australia rugby union

    Greater south east Asian co prosperity sphere....yikes

    I have more interest in watching these international type games than the "derby" that we are told means soooo much more to the crowd. The beauty of WSC for a young lad (Moi) was watching the windies and world team with Iqbal, rice etc. When the force started it was watching how we performed against the saffers and kiwis.

    Could they play a game in Tahiti? Not a bad destination for an enforcers tour

    Hiding behind the court action as usual. That's the fault of Rugby WA according to their new coaching genius.

    Expanded Japan Top-League with Korea, Hong Kong, Hawaii and WA?

    Combined Qld Premier and Shute Shield with the Perth Gold/Spirit, Newcastle and Tuggeranong Vikings?



    Free-to-air content would be the key.
