[QUOTE="Guilty, post: 666977, member: 71378"] I too think it makes more sense to have two Argentinian teams since both sides are going to be in the SA conferences but it looks like that may not be feasible looking at some of the above posts. I would much rather have Japan in Super Rugby as they have an established rugby following already and the Japanese are far more likely to get behind their team than the expats in Singapore but again, since they are going to be playing SA teams and not AUS or NZ - if having a Singapore based team makes more sense them that is the option they should go for. My question is what is the endgame strategy for Super Rugby? Is there a plan for there to be 20 teams at some point because it looks like that is where SANZAR are roughly heading. It would appear we will end up with 5 Australian, 5 Kiwi, 6 (or 7) South African, 2 (or 1) Argentinian, 1 Japanese and 1 Singaporean teams at some point in the future. If there is a grand plan then I am okay with a few years under a weird structure but I have a feeling that SANZAR are at some level making it up as they go... [/QUOTE]
