    Cutting an Australian Super Rugby team will block path of future internationals: Dane Haylett-Petty
    Nick Taylor

    Western Force vice-captain and Wallabies winger Dane Haylett-Petty says cutting an Australian Super Rugby team will block the path of future internationals.
    Haylett-Petty, the first home grown player to go through the Force junior system into the Wallabies, also urged SANZAAR and the Australian Rugby Union to make a quick decision.

    I am waiting for some of the wise men from the East to claim that the Rebels improved showing this round is due to only 4 Australians teams this week with the bye!

    Great article,add to this that with less sides the overseas countries are going to aim for our better players not the fringe therefore we will not be in a better place

    Absolutely.
    As much as I hate to say it I will be barracking for any team playing an Aussie side - except OUR Force of course.

    Harsh; but not exactly a shock.

    Pretty pointless death riding other OZ franchises. The better they perform the more pointless any reduction seems. But in any event, results over the short term will probably have no bearing.

    I bet there's been a few offers made already for players.

    Felt the same way for awhile.

    Then asked the question,why is any Australian supporter accepting the loss of any team!!!
    Where is the ARU saying they are backing every Aussie team to the death, and looking after Aussie rugby and not bending over because of a so called "partnership".

    Frankly if an announcement of any loss of teams in Oz happens every Oz team should organise a rally to shove it up the ARUs face or the players strike and show backbone (teams and players). Own the force and our petition made a big difference, and the whole rugby supporter base can make a bigger difference.

    And I think WA clubs should join as well, whether they agree with the force or not. To let any pro team in Oz go means the loss of opportunity for the club world.

    I barrack for any team that play's the TAHS just so when the decision is made the TAHS are lowest rank OZ team and how red faced the ARU will look.. But as one person pointed out to me on a FB site WTF is with Australian Rugby.. 90% of players in the suer clubs are either from NSW or have come thru the best lower grade comps in NSW.. I challenged him to produce the facts so he listed all the force players and were they came from only 15 of our squad came from the east or had any time at an east coast state.. He classed the likes of our South African and NZ born but moved to Perth as kids import players.. There is a lot of people over east pointing the Gun at the force.. I spoke to someone on the group and the NSWRFU top brass are lobbying that the WA team goes.. I asked this person honestly for a reason why and his answer was .. The NSWRFU think the growth of WA rugby has to potential to derail NSW and QLD as being a threat in providing great players to the national team and them loosing their MOJO.. He is a Warrtahs Supporter but wants a 5 team comp..

    Let's not forget, ARU has power of veto. If one team gets cut its because they WANT a team to get cut.
    . Both SA and NZ would veto any decision that doesn't suit their agenda, but ARU simply roll over and drop their pants.

    No wonder we only get one letter in the acronym.

    The development or growth of rugby in wa is at best a disaster. RWA have dropped the ball on this one.
    The number of kids coming through the ranks u14-u16 has been decreasing at a rapid rate over the last few years which now reflects in the number of u18-u20s teams.
    They don't even have a draw up yet as the clubs are struggling to commit to field teams and the quality I have seen to date wouldn't have any other state quaking in there boots
