[QUOTE="Pampas, post: 806788, member: 70388"] The reason why many fans are losing interest, is not the expansion itself but how weak teams from SA and Australia hace become in comparisson with NZ teams. If the more traditional teams of those two (bulls, stormers, sharks, reds, brumbies and tahs) were puting more competitive performances against new zealanders this debate wouldnt be taking place. I do agree that the format is complicated and unfair, but given the distance between different countries we have to recognise that there is no clear better format. I believe that a relegation format would not work, because fans of teams in tier 2 would lose any interest in the competition, except may be for the last rounds for the teams fighting to get to the playoffs.
