People will only follow losing teams for so long. 5 Aus and 5 NZ teams in the same competition isn't balanced and would result in NZ teams dominating. They have significantly more depth in both playing and coaching and are also starting from a much higher base.
Agreed, but we could allow say 2 of our teams to have a significant (or even unlimited) number of foreign players with an emphasis on Pacific Islanders and Argentinians.
Alternatively you could allow say 20% of all 5 squads to be foreign players, but there's a lot of people in Australian rugby who want to concentrate our top players into 3 teams.
