[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 691510, member: 38640"] So Super Rugby now officially covers Australasia, Africa, Asia and South America... I feel now may well also be hitting the point of irreversible damage to Super Rugby. It's not that I'm unhappy with expanding - however expanding as they have will undoubtedly turn an already haphazard conference system, into a dog's breakfast. If they organized this in terms of a round robin system where every team just has to suck up a one-off additional trip to Asia/South America then I would be fine - but I'm not convinced that who meets at the end of the conference systems will accurately reflect the best teams in the competition. It's already BS frankly - where New Zealand gets punished for a strong conference - and teams which have earned less points still get a guaranteed top 3 spot - but now I'm not convinced the table will really reflect the quality of the teams at all. That said, I could be wrong as I don't have the Masters Degree in applied mathematics to know where any of the teams will in reality stand in the table.. [/QUOTE]
