From the article you linked:
“The Pro12 deny extending a formal invitation”
Additionally, from another article:
“The Cheetahs deny that they have been officially invited”
The way 10 is travelling at the moment it wouldn't have surprised me if they teamed up with ARU: they could share liquidators.Unusual as it is for me to bag out the cough cough cough management of the ARU.
And to say FFS why could not we .
And to register a massive face plant as I say this and say I like many saw this coming and we or sorry the ARU sat and lets the suits from the US media company tell us what to do.
FFA HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THEY WILL BE BROADCAST FTA ON CHANNEL 10 AND CHANNEL WANTS TO BUILD A SPORTING AUDIENCE AND WILL CROSS PROMOTE AND HELP DEVELOP SOCCER.
Thanks suits and the recent fuck ups by the ARU helped no end I am told with the decision making by 10.
I'm not advocating another super team. I want out of the whole thing. I merely make the observation that the Waratahs aren't universally loved. More than a few people I know support the Brumbies despite living all their lives in Sydney. If another hypothetical team did exist somewhere else in Sydney, I'd be on them and I suspect that I wouldn't be alone.
I wouldn't associate the BBC with click bait, so I feel there is some truth to the story. However, as the could be settling on terms, they will continue to deny it.
I still don't know how this won't turn Pro12 into a bigger balls up than just having them in Super Rugby.
I mean, they want to expand to Houston.
The difference between the Pro 12 and Super Rugby, they do there research first. They know SA rugby teams entering the Pro 12 would work except for the summer/winter factor.
They have been talking about it for at least 8 years, remember when I was living in Ireland hearing plans for a trial. Also talking about removing the Italian sides at the moment.
And they would have officially invited two teams, just the second team won't be the Kings.

Anyone got any questions I can relay?

See this is what pisses me of the ARU on one hand cutting a tram and on the other paying out players contracts so they can play for the reds or tahs.
The honey badger couldn't get a top up to help support his family because the ARU couldn't afford to he and left.
A few days later they sign Hunt.
It's one story some and another for others.

Just received an interesting email; Bill Pulver will be attending my club's annual rugby dinner/function next Thursday night.
It's in Melbourne, so makes sense he'll be in town ahead of the Fiji match. I guess it's good of him to support the local community - but the man has to sit in a room with 100 die hard Melbourne fans who are wondering if he's about to cut their club. Interesting move.
