[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 866500, member: 74121"] The Oz side to the Top League is obviously complete speculation but looking at the calibre of players being signed up to the Top League (e.g. Cronje from the Kings) it seems there is significant money there. I think the article makes a valid point about needing to desperately try and keep union alive in the huge Oz cities. The fact the SARU have had the balls to set a precedent makes this less outlandish. Whether the Japanese would want the hassle is anyone's guess. The Force in particular would be difficult travelling (I'd imagine) and I don't know if Oz would bring the level of TV money that the SARU can offer the Pro12. Plus I doubt the Top League is as desperate for money as the Pro12. So I doubt this would happen. [/QUOTE]
