TWF forum, your source for all Force news, stated by the user 'Hansie'. Connect the dots and you can see it is a good source.

Sorry no Australian Rugby team (even the Wallabies) deserves a Super side on merit. That is the traditional Super Tournament not the abortion we have now.
Speak for your own team.
The Brumbies and Force deserve to be there on their performances this season.

Really? Winning 6 out of 15 games isn't really a great season.
On a pure points basis, they would be 10th and 12th in the competition.
Depressing fact - if you combine the top 2 teams from Australia on points (Brumbies and Force) they still have less points than the top team from either South Africa (Lions) or NZ (Crusaders).

the top team in SA played against how many NZ teams before the final?

Oh none during the season ...
But remember that the Force and the Brumbies only won 2/4 games against South African opposition (Kings and Jaguars) with all the remaining wins against the other Australian sides.
The Waratahs won 0/4 against South African opposition.
The Rebels won 0.5/4 (Sharks) against South African opposition.
The Reds won 2/4 (Kings and Jaguars) against South African Opposition.
So basically, the top three Australian teams were able to beat the bottom 2 teams in one of the South African conferences.
It also means that of the 21 wins in the conference, 15 were Australian teams playing another Australian team - pretty hard for both teams to lose.
So that is 6.5/20 against South African teams and 0/25 against New Zealand teams.

Direct Perth to London flights. Get them those flat bed recliners and bobs your uncle. Easy.

Vic Rugby should totally sell their super rugby licence to Twiggy for 50 mill and sit back to watch super rugby implode. We could try to get into Mitre 10 cup, and be ready for whatever replaces super rugby in three years time. 50 mill could buy a lot of young rugby players trying to decide between league and union. ARU would throw in some $$as well I'm sure.

Force: "what would it cost for us to stay in the competition"
Clyne "$50million"
Twiggy: "hold my beer, here's $50million"
Clyne: "uhhh... I did not have sexual relations with that women"

Half. That post is seriously half assed. Fair enough if you made it half cut. Otherwise hang your head at half mast in shame
Worse than the old "so and so has resigned" rather than "so and so has re-signed".

Reviewing original press releases relating to Alisports $100m investment in chinese rugby I forget the bit where it mentioned it is looking to start a new rugby competition with foreign players in 2018.
How where could Alisports find a team of professional rugby players with no home ready for a 2018 competition?
TF working with Alisports to start a new competition with a helping hand and possibly some extra funds perhaps?

Not in relation to anybody outside the Australian conference they don't. Zero wins against NZ sides and look at for and against. No different to any other Oz team. Try to be unbiased in your assessment.
