Not yet, they don't even exist. Pre season starts 4 or 5 months!

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 -

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?

@Tim Yeah I know it is but do you smell a rat with those viewing figures or am I just a conspiracy theorist.

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?

@Yeetyaah That 8 team structure looks ideal. Stuff the 10 team BS, all play all twice has much better competition integrity.

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

Not going to happen. The Aussies probably won't even agree to 4 teams, there's no way they will agree to only 2 teams.

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.

Aren't the Blues a PI team based in Auckland? They have always had PI players in there. I'm not really sure who would play for the team. Most PI players in NZ already have contracts with the NZRU so can't just join a new team at the drop of a hat. If you introduced them for next season, they would mostly be Super Rugby rejects and maybe the odd player coming back from overseas.

Those 10 team comp options are terrible.
Why can’t they get it through their heads that a simple, logical and non biased comp is what people want to see.Not playing the same teams an equal amount of times was one of the major flaws of the failed Super rugby expansion comps. Fuck. This is going to be a disaster.

Yes, if NZR are serious about an 8 team option then they need to be looking at three non-Australian teams. Japan, a PI team and someone else. Maybe the Jaguares? All three options are potentially risky in these uncertain COVID times.

@sumostevenson has got some fab Sauces clearly.

Can't see a 8 team competition being financially viable. A 10 or 12 team competition looks more realistic.
