[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 465324, member: 20605"] No way to work a system that has one conference with more teams than the others, because teams in that conference would play more matches, and therefore would accumulate more table points, giving them an unfair advantage on the Composite Table. I have no problem with the Conference system as it stands. Yes it does give those teams participating in a Conference containing two weak teams an advantage. In 2011 that was the Australian conference, but in a few years time, it could be another conference. Remember the Bulls, Lions and Sharks in 2002. They finished in the bottom three spots managing to win only five matches between them. How easy would it have been for the Stormers to make the semis that year (they finished 7th) I would also like to see the "missing" matches done away with. [/QUOTE]
