Why does Australia have to play NZ first?

[QUOTE="Guilty, post: 668323, member: 71378"] I was looking at the format of the RC earlier and it dawned upon me, that the RC tournament (and the Tri Nations before it) always follows the same format. We all know NZ has been the best team in the world since the 2004 and so it got me thinking that surely the fact that Australia has the play the AB's first every year must be a massive disadvantage? Why not give South Africa or Argentina this honor for once? Now I understand that there is a lot of travelling involved and that the format is optimized around minimizing unnecessary travel but that is what bye weeks are for so I think we could make this work with not a whole lot of effort. Anyway, am I alone here or would anyone else be open to the schedule being moved around? [/QUOTE]
