[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 971914, member: 74121"] The conference system is perfectly fine in various sports leagues around the world. With a round Robin in recent years you'd have had the top 4 all NZ based and all NZ semis, maybe barring the Lions (I'm not counting last season as NZ rotate their players so much in a RWC year). I find it hard to grasp that the tournament will become more competitive as a round Robin. Please someone explain that to me. Yes the JRFU were unwilling to continue paying. But I understand that this was a payment that nobody else was being asked to make. And nobody else was being asked to move home games to Singapore. There is a lot of potential for movement on both sides to compromise and a lot to gain for both sides by doing so. The Sunwolves side were disappointing this season, but we now know exactly why Joseph took al his star players away. And it worked. Next year they could all be playing in SR again and, if well coached, should be more competitive. [/QUOTE]
