[QUOTE="profitius, post: 789892, member: 41524"] How? If NZ boycott those test matches, what will they do instead. Thats not a NH problem though. You're essentially saying the NH should move seasons to suit the SH. I'm not saying that. I'm saying the SH should compromise a bit so the NH season could be tidied up a bit. Like for instance, have the summer tours straight after or just before the 6 nations. That would leave the rest of the season for club rugby and once a club don't make the playoffs it would allow NH players over a months extra rest. As it is, they might not make the league playoffs but still have to wait around for the tour down under. Also, the autumn internationals in Europe come soon after the season has started so we see international players having to come back for that. NZ can rest players for half the super rugby season no problem and have the players fresh for the ABs. Not only that but club matches have to be played during international matches, which damages the Pro12 in particular. The SH don't have those problems. Yes but theres also those who are using it to help push their agenda. Kind of like the US mantra of weapons of mass destruction when they were going after Iraqi oil. I'll tell you what'll happen. The SH teams will threaten to go on strike and World Rugby will step in with compensation. Its a bit of a joke really that Australia were complaining about their finances for years yet they still added a new professional team to super rugby! Whats that all about? Never mind though, World Rugby will cover their costs. [/QUOTE]
