@Bovidae I agree wholeheartedly with those comments as well. NZR have probably contributed to fucking it as they assumed bigger meant more cash so allowed ill-conceived growth, Rugby Australia fucked it by adding more crap teams because they wanted SR to effectively be their domestic comp which otherwise would be shite, and SA fucked it via a combination of the two ie adding shit sides and going for a cash grab.
Then it got so long and big it required numerous bye weeks, staggered starts to accommodate tours, the conference system , a contrived finals structure and my personal fucking favourite: All Black rest weeks.
And boom, we all fucked it in the asshole.
Oh and it's ludicrous length created a stupid international window, and encroached on the domestic rugby season. There were seasons when teams like Canterbury couldn't start at full strength because they had to rest players who'd had heavy SR workloads.
SR players being rested from provincial rugby, All Blacks being rested from SR, and All Blacks being rested from fucking All Black rugby. It's all a great big fuck up.

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.

Great.
At least 10 games that I won't bother to watch and more than 20 hours that won't be wasted. -

That should get the fans back. High quality rugby with the Force, Sunwolves and the Drua.

@antipodean Sigh. Yeah.

@Kiwiwomble Com' on. You cared about the competition in 2015 didn't you?
Agree about the format. That has been the biggest problem.

i, for one, look forward to the return of the conferences. I missed them this year.
The Chiefs were actually 3rd in the North island conference. Podium!

@Snowy yeah, i was meaning my real annoyances came from the overly complicated format, weird times zones etc....never really got annoyed on the rare occasion the landers thrashed someone....probably didn't happen enough to get old

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

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