[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 342373, member: 43400"] Yep, pretty much agree with all thats been said if getting the six strongest sides into the finals was the aim, but I think its a case of getting bums on seats. Australian crowds for example, really like to see one state up against another, and are more likely to attend for that reason ... the rugby public in each country should retain interest for longer as at least one of there teams will make the top 6. more games also equals more television revenue, so all three countries get a benefit there. Yes South Africa do get a major benefit from having to travel less, but I see Australia being perhaps the major beneficiary here, as the playing of more super games may make up for the lack of a Currie cup/ITM cup type competition [/QUOTE]
