We need to make sure if we do have a third tier comp that Melbourne, Perth and the ACT are represented
Even if we did incorporate club rugby, say the 4 strongest from Sydney and Brisbane then an ACT team a Melbourne team a Perth team and a team up in North Queensland
Another solution. Would be the Top 3 clubs from the Shute and Hospitals Cup plus a rep squad from Sydney and Brisbane filled with the best talent not in the three including returning Super Rugby players. Then the Vikings and Kookaburras from the ACT. Plus a Melbourne and Perth rep squad. Essentially a hybrid of a club and rep set up.
Below that you could then have the Aus. Rugby Shield with a second team from both Perth and Melbourne, Adelaide, Newcastle/Hunter, NSW Country, Qld Country, Nth Queensland, NT and Tas.
