But the point is once they have that clarity, common sense should dictate if wa is not represented in Super Rugby joins a new Asian rugby competition and the force play out of Perth that they should be open to changing the rules to allow them to be eligible for the wallabies. This is about allowing eligibility for oz based players. Come on bh your an intelligent man surely you see the need for this more open mindset as having oz teams based in oz involved in an Asian competition involving teams from non sanzaar Super Rugby regions could only be a good thing for oz rugby. Yes we need to confirm teams involved but would be crazy and near sighted for the ARU not to be open to considering rule changes for wallaby selection for oz based players irrespective if playing in super rugby or Asian based league.The current rule whereby we only select foreign based players who have played over 60 tests is unpopular enough.
Anyway, I can't imagine the ARU will jump to change the policy until they have some clarity on what the new competition is, when it will be played, and who is playing.
