    @Stargazer that would require a complete renegotiation of contracts with players and the NZRPA I expect...

    The problem is the length of the season by SANZAAAAR effectively making Super Rugby in reality Average Rugby.

    I agree with JK here: Kirwan also said the purpose of Super Rugby should be to be a premium competition involving the best players in action.

    "I think what it is, is a feeder to the All Blacks and to Europe."

    SO we had a couple of years of the ABs trying to beat the rush with speed and dual playmakers, but it isn't working yet!

    @Canes4life I was hoping to be able to go, but didn't have the car and public transport would have taken too much time. There will be a report of the game; hopefully some footage as well.

    Argentina has 1 team and they’re + 19 thats about + 100 on average if they had 5 teams like us. Likewise SA only have 4 teams so the average is stupid

    @Yeahtheboys although probably skewed slightly given there was a stat last year (or 2018) of 3 games I think about 58-3 for teams visiting SA?

    quite possibly, or maybe one ref did 2 games with huge pen counts f/a and the other was sandwiched in there due to being the other SA ref on duty in SA that weekend.

    There have been quite a few injury updates. See the home page; click on the team logos in the Super Rugby panel to the right and then click on "squad" to see the curren info on player availability.

    @Yeahtheboys Nope, unfortunately, that would take too much time.

    Could it just be that teams infringe more in SA and saffa teams feel more comfortable so don't act like thugs infringe less.
