[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1035369, member: 65365"] THis is what I know: each NZ team will play each aus team once, ie 5 rounds. Some reports say the final is between the top two teams, other reports say the final is between the top two teams on “the combined competition ladder”. I don’t really know what this means. It could either be that only points during the 5 rounds count, or that points from super rugby aotearoa and super rugby au count too. Either way I don’t like it. if it’s the former then NZ teams have a clear advantage, as it is clear that the three worst teams by some way are from Australia. So NZ teams would have a far easier competition. Or, if it’s the latter, the opposite is true, because the Australian contenders (reds and brumbies) would have points from playing the crappy three teams twice. Not only will it be an unfair competition either way, but what’s the point in seeing two NZ teams compete the final or two aus teams? We would already have seen finals between two teams from the same country in super rugby aotearoa and super rugby au. It will be weird to see two finals between teams from the same country. Which final will matter the most? I think all fans would rather see the final played between the best NZ team and the best aus team. [/QUOTE]
