[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 360373, member: 43400"] I'm pretty sure that that's the way it was in NZ when the competition was the Super 10 (when Rugby was still Amateur)... it won't happen due to the amount of money already used in setting up the existing franchises, the loses incurred by relegated teams, and the disadvantage financially that promoted teams would incur ... plus the national unions want all of their top/contracted players actually playing. As for the current format, I wouldn't expect it to remain the same as it will be in 2011 ... I expect that the comp will increase the number of teams (probably to accommodate Argentinian teams) ... a clue to this is that they are now calling it SupeRugby, not including the number of teams in the comp name anymore, so increased number of teams requires a change of format [/QUOTE]
