[QUOTE="FlukeArtist, post: 613199, member: 42995"] I have to say; I agree with a lot of what is written in this article. [URL]http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/opinion/9519174/Napier-Super-mediocrity-shouldn-t-be-rewarded[/URL] Over the years the Super Rugby product has been getting progressively worse, and people are caring less about it. Something needs to be done to stop the dilution of the product. NZ (as a rugby nation) is getting pretty apathetic towards Super Rugby now. And I think that is just because the product is no longer what it once was in the early days of professionalism. Giving SA an extra team because they can't sort out the problems in their own back yard is just weakening a competition which is already diluted. Let's face facts; SA's record with 4 & 5 teams in the competition has been dire. 2 ***les since '96. It's not a convincing argument that they have the playing personnel to support [I]another [/I]team [/QUOTE]
