Australian Rugby Union boss Bill Pulver reveals Super Rugby expansion plans

[shasta]

Which genius thought this deal up?

Doesn't matter. If that's how the revenue is distributed, let them go. Us and the Kiwis will have to go basically it alone anyway. The ZA teams have normally only come up with two or three competitive teams at any one time at best. See how well that rates for the broadcasters. They pull this shit way too often. Call their bluff.

Yeah but letting them go isn't very different from running this shambles, we don't get their money, we don't get to play them we only get to retry ourselves against their best team (and probably a host of wild cards as well) for the trophy

the deal itself, Ill let it unfold, but as I said last night, as long as I get to see good quality rugby, here in Perth, Ill still pay my fees.
But, I am a simple man of simple pleasures.
