Is Foxtel involved in the Rugby Xplorer app?

I'd imagine you'd need more than 50k to make it worthwhile. Likely a minimum of 100k subscribers. And it would need a fairly substantial raft of content to justify $200-250 a year in my opinion. I'd like to now exactly how many Rugby fans there are in Australia and what % of them would be open...

The international rights to the NRL are in all likelihood worth even less than Super Rugby's.

A lot will be dependent on whether the reports of a restructuring of the seasons occurs. If it's split with the RC moving to Feb-March and a dedicated 8-9 weeks test window in Sept-Oct then there's definitely room to move in regards to a broader schedule in terms of a TT competition. I agree...

Ha, yeah. But if so that won't be our problem anymore.

SARU committing to SANZAAR doesn't necessarily mean they have to commit to Super Rugby. More the RC. Which is where the true value in the alliance lies. As for the report. That has to be a misquote as if there were only 5 places for SA teams it would bring the number of teams to 17 not 18.

Super Rugby is shown in the UK and the USA.

According to SA publication The Rapport the SA franchises are set to link up with the Pro14 as soon as next season.

I'd like to see some data on the likely subscription uptake of such a service and the tolerance for price of those likely to do so. It would provide us with the opportunity to provide a game of the week to a FTA provider in a favourable slot free of charge as a means of driving growth and...

I'm referring to a domestic structure. Tests do add value but they've been the sole driver for some time. We need to get to the point where both Tests and domestic structures are fairly comparable in their value to broadcasters. As one is clearly higher than the other the best way of doing so it...

Google Translate.

Too little content to justify any serious level of investment on behalf of a broadcaster. A reason why the A-League got the deal it previously had was because it offered 26 weeks of largely domestic product. We need to be able to offer something of similar value. This article...

Yep. In fact, another option at least from an Australian point of view is to look to recruit much of the Jaguares squad into our squads if reports of their disbanding turn out to be true. I actually thought that this was the better method of including Argentina when they joined SANZAAR. Each of...

If we go to a TT structure I'd bet good money the Pro14 will quickly become the Pro18. If so, we'd be better served going with NZ and our 5 plus the Drua/Lautui and a combined Samoa/Tongan squad for 12 teams and a full home and away season. The only exception would be if a Asia-Pacific Cup...

Talk of Aus and NZ seriously looking to go to a TT option. Which seems to be somewhat supported by a report out of Argentina in La Nacion that Jaguars players having been given the go ahead to chase overseas contracts.

I'd split Sydney North/South much like many have suggested for Brisbane. With the 5 northern clubs (Eastwood, Norths, Gordon, Manly and Warringah) directly feeding into North Sydney. And the other 7 clubs feeding into Sydney. I wouldn't worry about conferences. Go with home and away format.

Apparently he has Gil Tai plus a few others in the process of being trademarked. The only positive here is that he has so far been pouring tons of money into Austin so hopefully this will overcome the shocking naming convention.

Or just the Black Falcons based out of Adelaide. If you look to continue with the state based concept. Bring in Fiji and a combined PI squad and that's 8 teams playing two rounds of games for a 14 game season. New Zealand could look to go to 7-8 teams (a second PI squad would be pretty cool) and...

Yeah.
