[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 1092940, member: 76427"] Even with SR and general world dominance rugby viewing and participation figures are on the wane in NZ. How many times can we watch the Saders pump the Blues or Hurricanes and still be entertained? They don't want Aussie involved in SR because they think it's the best thing for us. They want it because the reality is NZ is a tiny, saturated market and **** is on the slide big time - they are realistically 5-10 years behind Australia but on the exact same trajectory in terms of finances, interest and player retention. The door to Japan was never open. Losing to the 'Saders doesn't fit in with their corporate dong swinging model. And lets talk about partners behaving erratically: - flogged off SARU and Argentina - demanded we cut three teams - approached our franchises directly without consent - abandoned a [I]sold out[/I] (90k seater) test match after we had made accommodations to play them twice in a row in NZ. What did the 'erratic and immature' RA do? call them out. Name one [I]action[/I] they've taken that has been immature or erratic? NZRU are fuckwits. Pay more attention. [/QUOTE]
