[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 1003515, member: 13611"] Peter O'Reilly in today's Sunday Times says to expect an announcement on Tuesday about the big 4 SA teams joining the new Pro 16. Southern Kings are in liquidation and Cheetahs will be cast aside. I'd like to see an 18 game season. Play teams from your own country home and away (Scotland and Italy link up for this purpose as there'll be 4 Irish, 4 Welsh and 4 SA teams) and a single table rather than conferences. Implement an 8 team playoffs run like the NRL. That'd give a 144 game regular season (currently it stands at 147) and 9 game playoff series (currently it's 5 games). Plenty of meaningful content of a higher standard to sell to TV while reducing the load on players by cutting the season length. [/QUOTE]
