[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 639261, member: 40658"] Here's Supersport's explanation of how it would possibly work: NEW SUPER RUGBY FORMAT EXPLAINED SOUTH AFRICAN CONFERENCES CONFERENCE 1 (teams as examples, conferences not finalised) Sharks Lions Cheetahs Argentina team CONFERENCE 2 Bulls Stormers Southern Kings Team to be confirmed (possibly Asian) The teams in these conferences will start the season playing within their conference, in other words against the other three teams on a home and away basis. They will then proceed to the next phase of the season, which will see them play either the five teams in the New Zealand conference or the Australian conference. AUSTRALASIAN CONFERENCES NEW ZEALAND CONFERENCE Highlanders Blues Crusaders Chiefs Hurricanes AUSTRALIAN CONFERENCE Rebels Reds Waratahs Western Force Brumbies After this phase the teams in SA conference 1 will play against the teams in SA conference 2, meaning another four games, with two of them being played at home and two away. Eight teams go into Finals phase. The top four teams will proceed straight to the semifinals, with the other four sides (the means of arriving at those still to be determined) playing in the quarterfinals. [/QUOTE]
