[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 849094, member: 40658"] Utopia... It sounds very nice but I think it's more complicated than that. I don't think SARU, as an entity can sign a contract with whoever is in charge of the PRO12, while SARU is still under contract with SANZAAR. This is a clear conflict of interests, and could lead to a financial, administration, and legal nightmare should this happen. Remember that the Kings and the Cheetahs in this context are SUPER RUGBY FRANCHISES. They have an obligation towards SANZAAR and SARU. They were created with the sole purpose of competing in the Super Rugby tournament. essentially they belong to Super Rugby. I think there is a lot more speedbumps to get over before this will happen... [/QUOTE]
