Pity the SHute Shield did not allow the Vikings into the comp but would rather UNI win every year.
Sydney Uni haven't won since 2013.

It's not that stupid, though. A city of 4+ million people with one of the most ambitious immigration programs in the developed world. More than half of those people live in the west, including a large Islander population.No city in super rugby has two teams. This is the stupidest idea I've heard yet. You'd have to change the whole identity of the the Waratahs, what the east Waratahs?
Raided !!! What ??? were they meant to recruit profession prospects from womens hockey. Brumbues develop prospects

They are crying out for a Rugby product and it's not hard to see why they don't get behind the Tah's. More potential for growth there than just about anywhere else in Australia.

I'll start this post by repeating that I DO NOT believe that the Brumbies should be cut from the competition. Their performances on the field and the tradition that they have established there mean they should absolutely stay in super rugby. It would be a crazy decision to cut them (caveat - decisions are being made by the ARU and SANZAAR, two bodies known for making crazy and illogical decisions).
If it is the Rebels who are cut (and I don't think they should be cut either), it may (and I say MAY) be in the interests of the Brumbies to take in Victoria as part of their area. The Burmbies have proven on-field performance, but Canberra is a public service town, with a much smaller population than Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and far less opportunity to harness corporate support. Access to corporate Melbourne may be win/win? Most games could still be in Canberra - maybe play a couple of SAF games in Melbourne and promote them?
If the Force go, the NRL will put a team there in a minute and Perth would be lost to rugby. Their development structure over there seems pretty good. What's held them back is their coaching appointments.

So why doesn't their team already do something about that?

Maybe the Reds should venture into western Sydney...
Can you imagine the spite?
Western Reds. Like it.
Wasn't that the super league Perth team's name?Western Reds. Like it.
Don't kid yourself: their territory starts at a line known as the latte line:I think it's the best idea proposed in this thread.... imagine the majority of Sydney west of Parramatta branded as Reds country?
Those collars will pop right off!
Given the current mess we're in. It might npt be as hard to get a broadcaster on board as you think.
