    Indeed. My snooze has 10 minutes not 17 years. Nice if it did though.

    The Australian newspaper reporting a trans Ta$man comp in 2022 with 5 each from Aus & NZ.

    Potentially with a Japanese team and a Pacific team to make a Super 12.

    Hope not. Second rate Aussie teams bore me. NZ should stick with 5 NZ teams as their main competition. And Aust likewise

    Financially it's not sustainable for either.

    You guys don't watch most games? Usually I'd watch every game that wasn't played in S.A coz it's on too early, unless the Chiefs are playing then I'll get up.

    @Snowy Why not try and think of ways of improving the competition outside of forcing Aus to 'cut' teams - which i said from the beginning was never going to happen? or just moan a bunch, i guess.

    Look at an end goal. A genuinely competitive competition.

    You are moaning just as much about having teams cut - so you can cut out those bullshit comments.

    So what are your suggestions for making ALL of the Aus teams competitive?

    @mariner4life I was merely pointing out that it was never going to happen. I wasn't saying that it shouldnt happen because i think so.

    IMO the only way to bring them up to speed is with patient investment at the base over many years. Likely decades. You could probably make them a little more immediately competitive by investing in player recruitment (i.e. tap Twiggy money) but i don't think a quick fix will have lasting effects.

    @Snowy i actually think thats the issue, nz rugby might at least be able to claim trying to achieve a genuinely competitive comp as the goal...but i dont think thats the end goal for RA, they was to grown/spread the sport and they believe more teams will achieve that

    great, so for all you having a go at snowy, you haven't got much either except a pipe dream about the Force working this time because reasons.

    We have to wait a decade or more for a decent comp. I'll watch in 2030 then.

    @Snowy Nah i guess you can just skip the match against the Force if it bothers you so much.
