[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 640970, member: 40658"] In all honesty, NZ are equally benefitting from playing SA sides. We are after all the 2 best teams in the world. Our tradtional style of play has however evolved the last few years. If we look at that test from last year which everybody was talking about as being the best game in a long time, both teams played at an unbelievable tempo and pace. But, it came back to bite us as our guys are bigger, and in the end just couldn't keep up. here's a scenario which nobody seems to be thinking of: If SA were to remove itself from the Super rugby conference, then NZ would be mostly stuck with the Aussies and the Pacific Island teams. NZ would be exposed to generally the same style of play by all these teams. By the time they play SA, or the NH, the style of play changes dramatically and COULD end up being the thing that causes more losses than wins for the AB's [/QUOTE]
