[QUOTE="Nubiwan, post: 809651, member: 43441"] I am a complete neutral that started posting on this board about 2 months ago. Yeah I have been registered since before Argentinian teams were allowed in the comp, but never bothered to post on the forum that much. Not sure what difference posting my opinion when the schedule comes out and now has to do with anything. Especially if I don't really give a toss other than seeing decent rugby. My major concern back when the league started was being able to view it on TV on my continent, let alone who got to play who. Still, the process if flawed, but the league does what they think is best to expand, and provide fair play. In the case of the lions, they got a better deal than the highlanders in terms of the scheduling, and how the playoff system works. Just look at the highlanders travel in their last 3 matches, and total points versus the lions, a team who they already beat this year. To the "neutral" it can appear a little harsh. The outcome of the match (the point spread) was dictated more by travel for the highlanders in the past 3-4 weeks, than anything. I don't have to disprove any personal bias or otherwise for that to be true. Plus, it is just an opinion, shared by others. Neutral or not. [/QUOTE]
