[QUOTE="General Tah, post: 786296, member: 69663"] [url]http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/rugby-360-host-greg-martin-says-super-rugby-expansion-knockers-are-narrow-minded/news-story/c79e93b17610602b6b58610f00ea9034[/url] South Africa have long flirted with the idea of playing their club rugby in Europe, which fits better with their timezone. Australia and New Zealand should look to the Americas and the Pacific. There could be two teams coming out of Argentina — one from the country (Cordoba, Mendoza or Tucuman) — and a Buenos Aires-based team. You’d have one or two Pacific teams, maybe two out of Asia and one each from the United States and Canada. World Rugby is going to have to sponsor the Pacific teams because they can’t do it on their own, they can’t get their heads around it administratively. But that has to happen because otherwise the Pacific Islands are just going to keep on getting raided. Most of these Samoan, Fijian and Tongan players only go overseas because of money. Cant half tell Marto is sick of being held over a barrel by SA. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
