[QUOTE="gho, post: 306503"] At the next expansion i assume we will move to 18 teams, probably with either a 6 or 8 team final series. Does Super rugby have 3 more areas to expand into? Obviously there is the Southern Kings/Spears to play in the South African Conference, and the Argentinean team to play out of either the Australian or NZ conference, but what about the 18th team? NZ has the playing numbers but not the population to support another team, while the opposite is true for Aus. By the time of the next expansion, the two other regions that were looked at for the Australian team (Western Sydney and the Gold Coast) will be crowded markets, with league, soccer and afl teams already being established, making it difficult for Union to gain a supporter base. Good to see Argentina entering the 4nations though [/QUOTE]
