After watching the games today, it makes me wonder whether the NZ and AUS Unions made the right/proper decision to dispense with the South African Teams. I live around 10 mins away from the Leinster pitch. The best thing that has come into our multinational league has been the SA teams. The fairly petty superiority of some teams ( of my own team may I say) has been well and truly shattered by quality teams that adapted very quickly to the Northern game.
SA are on a same time time zone as France, next year they will be in the European Cup. In England and France the money is huge, but we all know money is not everything. To develop a quality sport it needs a high standard of skill development as a kid and underage player and also quality and tough teams to judge and rate you development against. Will a AUS/NZ/Pacific Zone be a true test?
