[QUOTE="InsaneAsylum, post: 867609, member: 13203"] South Africa also agreed to cut back to 15 teams and then negotiated to move 2 of theirs to Pro12. Fair play to SARU, they had a shrewd plan and executed it well. so your talent pool will still be diluted, just across 2 competitions. Unfortunately, the mentally challenged at the ARU took it hook line and sinker and we're now in a position where we are a huge country geographically and we are forced to lose 1/5 of our rugby footprint. there's about 800km distance between main cities in Aus and that means we have a vast area with no pro rugby, effectively waving the white flag. There is more at stake than just a super rugby team and I think that's what people don't understand, they simply say "the rebels suck, get rid of them" We've had 5 teams since 2011 and in that time we've won 2 ***les. in that time we've had 2 or 3 competitive teams, it's only the last year or 2 that things have changed.
