[QUOTE="higgik, post: 902981, member: 74704"] Agree SA is the pawn in the war of ‘club’ rugby across the world. They sit nicely for time with Europe, but is the only way of raising income for SH. I personally would not like to see them come north as the long term effects would be to reduce the number of countries playing at top level, (Italy could well suffer), leaving a 6 N including SA. NZ should be supporting Aus and PI by sending players to Aus teams and encouraging a PI team based in Hawaii in order to start the move to get some US money. Also need to move into Asia to find more money there, otherwise SA can force more money out of the next deal as threat now of leaving is even more obvious. [/QUOTE]
