[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 645215, member: 40658"] This is based purely on stats. You seem to forget that the South African teams are the ones who travel the most of all 3 conferences. What has been very damaging to our teams are the tours to Aus and NZ. It has always been the case. For our guys the tour is tough as they are usually 5 weeks away. Whereas NZ and Aus teams travel to SA for 2 games only and then go back. Your teams don't suffer as much as our teams do, it's as simple as that. With that said, these are just stats of the current year. What about previous years?? Last year our conference was the strongest, bar the Kings who made their debut in the tournament. I get your point of view, but I do think that you can't make the big decision purely based on just one year's performance. [/QUOTE]
