[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 282951"] OK, so a post season club competition between Sydney and Brisbane clubs wouldn't work due to lack of interest outside those areas. Then what could you do to get those regions interested? Did the any teams in the ARC represent those regions in any way? I see your problem as not having a "natural" regional setup the way NZ has its provinces. The States are too big, and there are only two of them anyway where rugby is really popular, and there are no further subdivisions (unless you count the parishes, counties and hundreds.) That leaves you with NSW, NSW Country, ACT, QLD, QLD Country and maybe Victoria. Not much to work with I'm afraid. [/QUOTE]
