Australia will rebuff New Zealand Rugby's Super Rugby proposal and look to negotiate on an equal footing after sounding out Argentina and Japan on their interest in alternative models. Rugby Australia boss Rob Clarke has been exchanging emails with his NZR counterpart Mark Robinson but RA is expected to ignore a request to submit expressions of interest in the Kiwis' eight-team competition. "The expression of interest I'm not interested in and if they send it over I won't open it," RA chairman Hamish McLennan said. "If [chairman Brent Impey] and Mark [Robinson] want to chat with Clarkie and myself, I think next week's the week to do it." -
I have no problem basing a PI team in Auckland as it has many advantages over the team being in Suva, for example. The most obvious being the costs required for travel and logistical challenges in the islands. There are also a large number of PI players outside of Auckland, so limiting your player pool to only one city is a stupid move.
The other important point is that if Kanaloa Hawai’i is 100% funding this team then it is similar to Forrest and the Force in Aust. You add a team to your competition at no cost to the home RU. NZR aren't going to ignore that possibility.

Is it official that the SA SR sides have left the comp in order to supposedly join the comp in the NH???
Well good luck with that Because there is bugger all rigby being played here currently - and not even a sniff of it being resumed on the horizon.
Boris Johnson says large porting events with crowds can go ahead from November. Well I don't know what sport he is referring to - but it certainly won't be the likes of England v All Blacks. All vwery very quiet on the rugby front up here -
@Jailbreak7 Not at all. NZR has left the SR comp and, as pointed out by head of SARU, may well be liable for breaking contact next season. Obviously Force Majuere (sp?) Applies this year, may do next?

Good luck winning that in court with a pandemic in progress.

I thought the existing Super rugby format had one year to run, hence one last year of the stupid fucking conference system. Then next year it was going to be a “new” format. Maybe the new format/partnership hadn’t been formally create yet?

What about 9x8x2x0.5 + 3 = 75?
I'm no mathematician, but this part of the code looked superfluous... "x2x0.5"... So I've taken the liberty of simplifying the equation to "9 x 8 + 3 = 75"
I'm so smart, person, man, camera etc
