Yeah I understand but it seems unsustainable particularly when your team is subject to competition with other nations with greater resources.

This needs to be reversed or at least shifted a little to be less reliant on the form of one team at the top IMO.

Dude doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

Every other sporting league in existence. I think at this point you are just trolling.

what are these words?

Yeah. As if the fans know what they want? The experts know what they really want. That's why rugby is going from strength to strength, selling out stadiums and raking in record TV deals. All those fans calling for a local competition that has greater fan engagement and teams they can support...

ABs are gunna get pumped. A couple of cricket scores against shite sides doesn't mean anything - particularly as the key players in those wins won't even be starting. Ireland by 20 odd.

Yeah since edited it.

Don't France, New Zealand, South Africa and England all have domestic only competitions? In the case of England and France these are used to qualify for composite international comps. Advocates for a domestic comp aren't saying it'll immediately be bigger or better than Super Rugby or any other...

Why on earth would we keep a four million dollar liability on the books when its offering to deal with itself?

I suppose money talks. I remain unconvinced we'll attract anyone particularly good.

Is it, though?

The Brumbies would 100% have done much better in the world cup. No doubt about it. The Brumbies with Bell and Tupou qualify top IMO.

We keep hitting rock bottom and falling through.

More likely is we starting losing to teams like Portugal and Samoa

I think you have to pay extra for that feature/service. They have to make money somehow. I guess not.

Thoughts on an arrangement where all Super Rugby coaches take up roles with the Wallabies post Super Rugby? Seems the best use of extremely limited access to rugby IP/IQ and in line with a centralised model.

True - a little objectivity could only be good for the old fucks running the game.

It's red so you know you are being punished.
