[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 643943, member: 59145"] You are right of course that things are more complicated in Aus. I just don't think "negative" South African rugby is too blame for lack of viewership if you make union more "leaguelike" you're essentially just removing the reason for union to exist in the first place. It's probably an unpopular opinion but I'm actually all for SA joining the English league, it would remove the stigma of "foreign based" players and would give the players the money they deserve without removing them from national contention, as well as fixing the whole time-zone issue. Then we could have a "champions league" of rugby with all the best teams in the world playing a group stages/knockout competition. Could be pretty awesome, unfortunately I don't know how that would affect the national side. [/QUOTE]
