[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 586672, member: 20605"] I guess what you are missing is that all NZ professional rugby players are contracted to the NZRU, be they All Blacks, Super Rugby Players or ITM Cup. That is how our system is organised. Personally, I don't want to see the franchises fully privatised, for the same reason that I don't want players who are playing their rugby outside of New Zealand to be eligible to the All Blacks. I want the NZRU to have unrestricted access to all our players. What I don't want is some arbitrary organistion like England's PRL pulling the strings of players and controlling access the way that it happens in England. If the All Blacks selectors say they want to hold a training camp, say on Tuesday and Wednesday of week 12 of Super Rugby, I don't want the owner of the Crusaders, for example, telling the NZRU that they can't have Dan Carter, Kieren Read and Sam Whitelock.
