@Hurricane-80: Ooh one indoor stadium must make you a cosmopolitan wonderland. Maybe you can keep the sheep in there in winter to bolster your pathetic spectator numbers. But of course you never did address the fact that SA money keeps Aud & NZ afloat, did you d1ckwad?

@Te Rangatira-76:
i honestly and sincerely wish it comes about tr, and the least it would open up opportunities for the lions and perhaps one or two more sa sides or could grow even bigger if there desire on the part of power brokers here and in england.

besides, if there’s enough money to round why not have an additional comp which would certainly place above our vc for entertainment.
i dont think money is any obstacle as i would think there’s a lot of it between us and the english, more difficult would be travel, time, viewer interest and that sort of stuff.

personally who knows, maybe i would come round to the super comp again but i cant see it happening anytime soon. and i wouldn’t think i’m alone in this regard, consider the low attedance/crowd numbers at most super rugby games. and a lot of bloggers here have expressed unhappiness with the super format as it stands.

And we will never attack if we have a 2 12′s as a center pairing, both of whom are slow.

And a flyhalf whose sole aim is to get rid of the ball via his foot, preferably deep in the pocket, and as high as can go. And then run backwards and pretend to be fullback.

Stupid one dimensional attack.

Learning what I ask?

Pathetically childish discussion.

Play like a man. Take it on the chin. Have some pride.

Seriously Northern Hemisphere.

Pfft.

I reckon that a better overall structure is required for Super Rugby. The PI’s and three/four teams from Argentina, Canada, Japan and the USA should join the party as spearate conferences. Each of the conferences play against their local teams, and then the top two/three from each conference play finals style rugby (maybe two or three games to decide each final winner).

BUT: The compo should be set up like the sevens style fomat, where unions from other smaller rugby nations (eg USA/Japan and Canada) can join the finals playoffs, and compete for shield and plate trophis. They will get valuable games against better opposition, and whole new audiences will become interested.

Each conference can choose how many teams that want playing internally.

@Transformation-53: lol We all know Bakkies . Any loss is not fair and he will complain. Big hit will all of a sudden become an enemy

@drew-79: How many indoor rugby stadiums do you have?? Dipstick. The only lights off is in your head. We all see why a few want to move to Europe. Like Bakkies who seems a bit confused, he thinks the refs will be better for SA and the English and Irish teams etc do not cheat every game to win. Yet he complained the one of the NH refs cheated them out of a win not so long ago. He forgets that teams in Heineken cup have recently beaten the Boks. Bakkies hopes is going to be an easy run so he can feel the pleasure of winning again. And a bonus he hopes like you have stated that NZ and OZ die and our rugby will become non existent. IF you cant beat em make all the excuses and leave. Be a shame but if it takes this to make the clueless happy then go for it

And when “(us guys) go north & play” – you may as well turn the lights out in NZ & Australia – dwindling crowds in Aus & those useless little 1950s era stadiums in NZ. SA is who keeps you afloat money-wise and I think it would cool to head north & let you slowly implode.

@ 77 JohnPierre
“when will it stop..” guess it’ll stop for you when you leave a SA rugby blog, d1ckjless. And what’s a “jappie” – someone who yaps like you do? Bye!

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-40: hey sour, moaning, whingeing puss...typical jappie response, its everyone elses fault...I think many rugby supports outside of SA are sick and tired of the constant moaning coming out of SA...when will it stop...when you guys go North and play...

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-67: If the Sa unions and Saru along with the Poms can get a new competition off the ground with all the logistical problems that come with it, good for them I say.....will it work? Only time will tell, but if everyone gets behind it with the same vigour as you Houston, I'm sure it will succeed on a financial level. And on the personal side for yourself, absence may make the heart grow fonder.

Van Graan is a poephol. Heyneke appointed him to pay back his daddy for giving him his job back at the Bulls. Deans has got more between the ears than Heyneke’s whole coaching squad together. Unfortunately the Aussies seriously lack talent and without Quade C. they are dead ducks.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-71: They've already signed a broadcast agreement with the BBC for considerably more than ERCs Skye contract, so that's a done deal. It'll be interesting to see if they use that to convince the ERC to change the HC format and also move to the BBC for rights to the games that don't include the English clubs.

@David-66: yes, could be the case. i'm just going on these articles on the subject and in some of which the PRL spokesman alludes to wanting a continued form of heineken cup as well as a new anglo-whoever competition. which he claims would be a benefit and bonus over and above the hc. it could just be them wanting to negotiating from a strong position, without any real intent on going it alone if there demands, or at least most them, were acceded to. namely more money and fair qualification for all countries.
