[QUOTE="Mr. Laxative, post: 153296"] The major problem with having a combined PI side is that it could take away some national pride. The truth of the matter is that these teams have great rivalries with one and other and putting a team together every year may not quite work. Also, should you include Fiji, Samoa, Tonga in Super Rugby, would it be considered a test match when they play each other? What's more, the national coaches would then become little more than provincial coaches. You can say let's go ahead with this, but logistically it could be difficult to manage. Ideally, the Super 14 should become the Super 20 including 5 teams from the big three, then two teams from Argentina and PROVINCIAL teams from the Pacific Nations. The tournament should be played in two "conferences" and every year the conferences are made up of the top 5 teams from each group from the previous year. This way the finals series could differ each and every year. [/QUOTE]
