[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 731233, member: 43400"] Exactly,the new system, while not ideal, has been agreed upon to accommodate what the SANZAR partners want (Six SA franchises, less travel, growth into new markets). I could see your East and West conference idea being viable, but also think that both of these conferences are likely to stay split, so it would be a four conference system, with the top two teams from each of the Eastern conferences (and Western) playing off in a finals series, and the two top teams playing off for the ***le. It just makes sense economically, although it does reduce the Australasian v South African encounters drastically [/QUOTE]
