[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 848352, member: 20605"] From 1996 to 2005, there were only 12 teams (Super 12) - 5 NZL, 3 AUS, 4 SAF. The whole competition was only 13 weeks long including the post season. South African teams would play no more than four teams away from their home country either - One AUS team and three NZL teams, or - Two AUS teams and two NZL teams. This meant a 4½-5 week tour After 2005, an extra SAF and AUS team was added (Super 14) so the length of the competition was extended out to 16 weeks including the post season and a bye round For south Africa the travel schedule was increased by up to 20%. - Two AUS teams and three NZL teams, or - Two AUS teams and two SAF teams. It was about this time that concerns were starting to be expressed about travel. [/QUOTE]
