    @Kiwiwomble It was clear from the start that McLennan's threats to leave the comp was just a load of hot air. Not surprised the comp will continue.

    This is interesting:

    The confirmation of the current Super Rugby Pacific format – with the eight-team finals format – will disappoint some fans and will be seen as a win for Australia, which has generally struggled with player depth.

    However, Marinos said there would be rule changes in Super Rugby Pacific to make the game more appealing.

    “RA and NZ Rugby are committed to the development of the most exciting form of rugby in the world, through trialling and implementing new rules, new ways of engaging fans and broadcast innovations with our partners,” he said in a statement.

    Hopefully, those rule changes do not include the same stupid "sin-bin power-play" rule that the RFU is proposing for the new Premiership and Championship Cup competition (or similar nonsense).

      Good news.

      I would think the new rules would be things like time off/time limits at scrumtime etc

        at very least you would hope this kind of certainty will make sponsors happy and easier to find as well as new broadcast deal

              I will say, that seems quite true about tv deal money split, only a very gullible person ever thought that that NZR was going to split their tv revenue, which included tests, NPC etc etc.

                That Im ok with, but I think most rules should fall in line with International rules as it looked liked we failed to adjust early in our AB campaign this year

                          They could try reducing how long a team can be in possession and up the power play sin bin to two players. Also make a try worth one less point in the power play.

                              @Bones maybe asking to swap a player at half time would work too.

                              I mean then teams could get real tactical and pick someone shit, then at halftime give him to the opposition.

                                  I reckon a 3 second rule. Ball must be played in the open after every 3 seconds.
                                  3 to complete a scrum, 3 to complete a ruck/tackle, 3 to complete a maul etc

                                    @Crucial but is the ball safe to eat if you drop it on the floor for more than 3 seconds?

                                        I'd be interested to know who else is with the Chiefs as there are plenty of options at loose forward without having to look outside the area.

                                          Yep, staggered by that. Who misses out from McCurran, Lasaqa, Norris, Brash, Burr and Reuben?
