[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 806784, member: 73648"] and ITM cup is one of my favorite competitions to watch (even though a lot of sides are missing All Blacks), I just don't see how Super Rugby can compete when they are losing 46 players to Europe next year. It's just too big of a competition geographically wise that I don't think that it can continue to run in the long run because of efficiency problems. I don't know how you feel about ITM trying to recruit foreign players and really become a competition featuring the best of the best while still developing mostly New Zealand players. [B]Super Rugby does have a lot of garbage fixtures, but the NZ games are always scintillating and high scoring and the best rugby you will find in the world.[/B] and what % of the games is that? [B]over-opinionated Yank who watches his spoon fed European stuff on ESPN.[/B] I mean yeah, like 100% correct, but we currently all Super Rugby games on ESPN while only two Top 14 games a week plus European competition, next year NBC will have Premiership but right now Super Rugby is the most rugby we get in the states Mainly I just want to see competitions featuring the best players playing against each other , I don't care where it happens but it is going to happen. Unions can try to keep players in their domestic leagues but restraints on labour always lose in the longrun and right now it looks like Europe is winning the battle when it comes to securing the best players in the world.
