[QUOTE="nik, post: 840206, member: 12284"] I prefer this system than the current system. However I think it should a straight round robin – every team plays each other once in the regular season. The following season the home/away matches are inversed just as it was in the Super 14 days. It means one long as tour of away matches to East/West. Also means that less derby matches – but derby matches undermines the conference. This is the fairest way. Every team gets a similar travel schedule and all play each other. The finals is played within the conference – then a grand finale is played between East vs West conference champs depending whoever finished highest in the regular season ladder. Only one major travel before the final instead – its not ideal however it is expected hence can be planned better by coaches and officials. Instead of the current system where a team can fly all over shop during the finals not knowing exactly which continent they are going to play in next week until subsequent matches are completed in the weekend.
