[QUOTE="The_Wol, post: 999192, member: 37787"] Sunwolves put up a good fight? Remind me what their score was against the Reds this year? Pumas had 1 good season thanks to their national union saying "If you want to play at the world cup you have to play in Argentina that year". Not surprising an international team did well at Super Rugby level lmao. Rugby is already dying in New Zealand look at the participation numbers which have been steadily dropping since 2014. You have one derby worth watching the Blues vs Crusaders, right now the Hurricanes, Chiefs and Highlanders would be lucky to beat the Sunwolves convincingly. Rugby Aoteroa simply won't last as a sustainable competition, who wants to watch the same 5 teams play each other for 10 weeks? It's working now because of the shut down could you see it working in 3 years from now? The Hurricanes could barely draw a crowd before the shutdown, same with the Chiefs and Highlanders. People will come knocking for the rights to watch? What people? more New Zealanders? good luck with that. I've said the ARU is failing miserably at their job already. [/QUOTE]
