[QUOTE="User1245, post: 987922, member: 40986"] For the record I do think the 6 Nations is a more exciting competition due to the history and format of the comp. It's a better product, probably second after WC. Objectively the TRC have stronger teams though. Most TRC teams have won the RWC multiple times whilst most teams in the 6N have never reached a RWC final. Most Bok fans would see this as a downgrade in competition (a recent poll for the SA rugby mag backs this) and it would be something SARU took into consideration if it was considering the move. I'm in favour of a move like this due to three reasons: 1) Long term financial stability for SARU 2) Nearly impossible for rugby in Australia to make up the lost ground if it doesn't become more fan friendly 3) Including Japan will open up the Asian market which is good for rugby as a whole There's definitely cons to the situation though. I totally get why fans of 6N teams wouldn't want this. [/QUOTE]
