[QUOTE="mania, post: 993843, member: 75051"] to be brutally honest, Aus hasnt pulled its weight for over a decade. i dont really think this will be as big a loss as people think. sure Aus are NZ's nearest rival and for a long time they were also competitively NZs nearest rivals but those times are long gone. its not up to Super to fix Aus rugby. only they can do that. but the malaise that infects Aus rugby cant be allowed to infect the rest of Super rugby. Just cos Aus as a nation dont want to play rugby means that they need to amputated from super and another team brought in. having Aus continue the way they are imo is ruining Super. i watched an Aus derby before lockdown and omg it was a comedy of errors. it was painful low level rugby with real basic mistakes being made with no style.a i would prefer a PI team, but i am bias and understand that there would be no money in getting a PI team in ,but this is where Super needs to think about making the best competition and not the most profitable. teams that can perform at high levels. sure the islands will struggle at first in the comp with its speed, technique and fitness but they have the personnel to evolve and overcome and succeed ina Super. Aus needs to sort itself out before is allowed back , if ever, to Super [/QUOTE]
