To answer, the NZR has no need of reform by using imports, and so would I doubt feel it needs to be talked about. I agree the lopside TT won't work, and while we play the same comp as we are it will not change, we agree there, Aus playing Aus and NZ playing NZ teams followed by TT has as you said proven to be a waste as after 2 weeks all Aus teams were out, as can be expected in a five week comp. that is why I believe Aus rugby to go stronger need stronger competition ovr a substained period, or same ol same ol, and hell I am very happy watching Super Ao, but my whole argument is around the need for Aus rugby to be strong, not in 10 years when there is a few more teams, but sooner before game loses even more relevance in Aus sports scape.
You and I know how strong the game was in Aus on the back of good Wallabies (especially) and super teams during 90s and early 2000s. We had great tv numbers, bloody great crowds at super games, test matches where you had to get in early to purchase, and much as you and I might want the game to be built from ground upwards in Aus, I am afraid it will have to be good at top and try and build downwards from there. Mate strong international comps are needed with a good domestic comp below.
If I was looking at it from Kiwi point only I would say happily ( and it is said here) bugger Aus, who needs all there problems etc etc, let them whither with Wallabies get weaker, but I honestly believe that full comps are way to go, as I want Aus rugby to be strong, and I believe we ned it to be, just as I believe Aus rugby meeds NZ.
People talk about learning from past mistakes with Super, I agree, lets learn from it and look at it when it was very good for Aus rugby as well as NZ!
