[QUOTE="Aotearoa_, post: 806787, member: 74113"] Honestly, I love the Super Rugby and think it's important for our players to play in it given the traveling aspect, it gives future All Blacks the taste of the venues they become so familiar with in the RC. It also gives them a taste of what it's like to play vs other Nationalities, so it's very important development step for our Internationals IMO. So I think the future is to make this Super Rugby competition work, it may take some time, but it's worth it for sure. If the South African teams become too weak as a result of the player exodus, then I wouldn't be completely opposed to cutting them out until they can sort their issues out. But I don't think that will ever happen due to the money aspect and there is always enough depth in SA to field a few strong teams. ITM could be repackaged and marketed more I believe, I think they could sell the TV rights for more to overseas if marketed correctly, it really is such a quality competition. I think they should shorten the Super Rugby competition with the Divisions and work out the ITM Cup side to be able to have the All Blacks available. [/QUOTE]
