[QUOTE="Paulo, post: 962270, member: 78845"] Fiji and Japan, team wise, I think would work. And I would like to see it. Although logistics wise I’m not sure playing in Fiji is sustainable financially. And without SR, where are the Fiji players coming from? Mitre 10? NRC? Without SR to be the bridge between national competitions and international I think we may see the decline in SH rugby even more so than we are seeing now. And unless you want to move to a one game winner takes all Bledisloe, or a best of 2 game series, you may need to keep watching Australia lose to NZ 3 times a year. Now that they have scraped the nations cup, I think we could try and incorporate Japan and Fiji into the RC, keep SR but manage it slightly differently. Let SA go north and break up SANZAAR. Stop the end of year touring of the NH. They don’t want a best of the best series regularly, so be it. We can meet every 4 yrs in the RWC. Without the northern tours, there is more time in the calendar to have the extended RC and modified SR. [/QUOTE]
