[QUOTE="higgik, post: 901923, member: 74704"] Mark Ella has mentioned this morning that in order for Super Rugby to survive, there needs to be a change in the concept of only national players in teams. [URL]https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/super-rugby/wallabies-great-mark-ella-says-all-blacks-can-save-australian-super-rugby/news-story/a07ae5e7d1aa2fc36680fdb3679b7070[/URL] I have suggested this for years. If more of the talent was spread across the teams, then the matches would be higher quality. Think how the Western Force or the Sunwolves would benefit from a few Saffas or all blacks; or what about allowing PI test players into the teams, without affecting their qualification. There is no way a PI team could enter SR for financial reasons, so why not open up teams to allow them to play in the current teams. The main obstacle is that the unions would need to allow more private finance as they will not want to be paying non-nationals. [/QUOTE]
