[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 918440, member: 45355"] i see what you're saying SC but the draft system defeats the goal of provincial rivalry, guys arent exactly going to bust a nut for a team thats going to drop them for an AB as soon as they secure a "Cup" spot and fans potentially having half the team they've been cheering for swapped out for guys that were playing against them last week. i see it this way, players seem to think there is too much rugby at the moment, so much so most AB's dont turn out for Mitre 10 teams anymore, this fixes it for some. Players might have to accept they need to do all their shining in the domestic comp and not assume they'll get to play super rugby. I've said it before, i watch more domestic rugby every year than international and so i'd rather domestic rugby was better i know this is a radical thought but id happily loose a few AB's games if it meant rugby had a more solid future in general and be so far ahead of the next international contender that international rugby went the way of League [/QUOTE]
