[QUOTE="Guilty, post: 667200, member: 71378"] Agreed - competing agendas of the SANZAR nations is a huge problem. I'm a fan of the current Super XV structure but the proposed 4 conference Super XVIII formatt looks substandard at best. I am fully on board with appeasing the SARU's desire to have 6 teams in Super Rugby (completely fair enough) but surely we could have come up with a better plan. Why not keep the three conferences and make the SA/ARG conference a 7 team group? As the years go on, add the Japanese and Singapore teams to the AUS and NZ conferences giving them 6 each. This would make sense financially and from a logistics point of view. Yes, SA would have a 7 team conference but they would also have one extra team. A fair trade no? Finals would be top 8 teams (of 20). Conference winners and next highest 5 seeds make it in. [/QUOTE]
