[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 848329, member: 20605"] This is not the case at all. Out of the US$400m SANZAAR TV rights deal, South Africa gets almost half (US$180m), while New Zealand and Australia have the remainder split between them 55:45 [IMG]https://www.dropbox.com/s/42i50f0uajlofue/SANZAR%20Deal.png?raw=1[/IMG] [SIZE=1]Image from G&GR[/SIZE] TV viewership in NZ is much higher per population than the other two countries... four times higher than in South Africa and eleven times higher than in Australia. This is wrong. Its 16 regular games each year 1. Eight matches (four home + four away) against the teams in your own conference 2. Four Home games against teams from the two other conferences (two teams from each conference) 3. Four Away games against teams from the two other conferences (two teams from each conference) Total 16 Top Six into the post season with a modified McIntyre playoff system Week 1 Seed 1 & Seed 2 week off Elimination QF 1 - Seed 3 v Seed 6 Elimination QF 2 - Seed 4 v Seed 5 Week 2 Semi Final 1 - Seed 1 v lowest seeded winner Semi Final 2 - Seed 2 v highest seeded winner Week 3 Grand Final The travel will be a killer, especially for the South African teams, who would have to go on a six week tour to New Zeland and Australia, with at least four of them also going to Argentina, and that before the post season. On average, All Black player spend over 280 out of 365 days of each year away, sleeping in a hotel room instead of their own homes. Asking more of them is too much. Fan s in England and France have no idea of the mental and physical impact this has on the players because the whole of their domestic competitions are played over a land area the size of a SH Province! (e.g. England has less Land area than the South Island of NZ). [/QUOTE]
