[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 214659"] O'Rothlain lives and coaches in the United States of America and while he is an independent figure when it comes to American and International affairs, he probably has the best insight amongst all of us into how the American Rugby system works. Thus, when he says the Super 14 expansion plans into the USA are BS, I tend to believe him. In order for a Super 14 franchise to survive in America, they MUST have a big financial backer. The franchise has to be owned by a big spending individual, you can't expect USA Rugby or the Californian Union to have either the financial or management power to manage a major rugby team. I'm sorry but SANZAR has to move with the times, its time to pander to the likes of Hicks, Gillet and Glazer rather than trying to save the sinking ship of Union controlled franchises. [/QUOTE]
