[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 478071, member: 20605"] The only way a single franchise in a foreign pool would work is for them to be based in that country like the Pampas XV in South Africa. And, Oh please!!!! [B]Six[/B] Super Rugby teams in Australia? Give me a break!!! They don't even have enough talent to fill the five they have. They need to go importing players from other countries to fill the roster at the Rebels, so where on earth are they going to find 30 players to fill a sixth Franchise? There are only two ways I can see Argentina being added to Super Rugby. 1. Two franchises, one each, based in Australia and New Zealand (with the Kings being the sixth in the SA COnference). This has its problems, not least of which are: Who will support them? Where will their home grounds be? 2. Argentina having a Conference of their own. I can see them having enough talent to have three competitive teams out of the five they need, but where is the money going to come from to pay 150 professional players? [/QUOTE]
