[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 993855, member: 45355"] i think the point is we might not have a choice, without AUS the comp might die, i realise you dont think so but i think its a possibility and we might be better to euthanise rather than let it become a drain stop and really think about it,more than half the games being a nine hour (or more) flight away? thats a big cost per game and big tax on the players, currently they get pretty long stretches based in NZ / AUS, plus having less games at a good time to watch live..less interest, lots of people dont watch the games in the middle of the night, we could loose a lot of the casual fans a lot of the people i talk to see the real connection with RSA is at the All Blacks level rather than super rugby and lots of other people see the mitre 10 cup as half what it use to be, far from the firm base it use to be just to clarify...you're probably right in what they will try and do...i just have my concerns and think we might be better in the long term to be proactive [/QUOTE]
