They did expand. WSW, Macarthur, and Western United. All areas that have large player numbers. Where do we go? Before you say 'Western Sydney', look at a map of the SRU and subbies clubs in Sydney. The only reasonable option would be to split the Tahs into North Shore and Eastern Suburbs...

Adding teams to grow the media pie is what got Super Rugby into trouble from the get-go. If the ARU had the resources that the AFL have, they'd be able to cop the year on year losses that the Giants and Suns have. But they don't. After starting off with a sensible sized comp, the A-League...

Picking a winner is a challenge. A young bloke has found opportunity somewhere, and has the opportunity to see the world. Can't complain.

Oh UNSW merging with Macquarie. Interesting. Hey wait, there are still uni jobs?/

If anything, we should be learning from past mistakes, like expanding too fast for the sake of expansion. Super Rugby fell into the same trap as any bad franchise model. Nearby examples are the abject failure of the Suns in the AFL, and the Giants' inability to draw crowds despite being a fairly...

We tried that twice now. The stumbling block each time has been the absence of buy-in from the SRU clubs.

Ah, the malaise of Australian Rugby for the last 18years

Ye-es rugby football definitely the winner tonight. Or maybe anti-rugby-football. Speaking of which, now I'm stuck with Man U - Everton. What a letdown after that.

Phew!

Imagine if they miss this

Now NZ icing the clock
