[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1125667, member: 74121"] The Lions reached finals in three of the last years of SR and that was when I'd argue 4 AB sides were stronger than any of them now (only the Blues have improved). I think SA being in the Euro timezone makes perfect sense and is better for all concerned in terms of the tournament. But now only the Brumbies and Crusaders appear to have strong packs in SR (for now) and I can see the Wallabies and ABs struggling more should they come up against 8 man rugby. Even the likes of Ireland might be able to suffocate them at the breakdown and set piece (so not just the traditional strong packs of Boks, England and France). Its really hard to tell if this is a factor though because the Wallabies and ABs are both as bad as they've ever been and that isn't connected in any way to SA leaving SR in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
