[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 848364, member: 39190"] That or make it a two tier competition. I'd love a top 12 and bottom 12 with promo/relegation matches and the top two of the bottom tier to be positions 7 and 8 for play-offs. If I remember correctly the Aussies pushed for conferences and derbies so that SR could act as a substitute for not having had a domestic league. The effect in SA has been that we just have to watch the derbies but it becomes too much and then the Currie Cup suffers becuase you get tired of watching Stormers vs Bulls if it happens 5 times a year. As for your first question. A whole lot of that has to do with the centralized structure of the NZRU and SARU essentially being a money bag for corrupt officials from 14 provinces in SA. SARU has a mandate to funnel money into previously disadvantaged communities but I am sorry to I am very skeptical and wondering how many hands dip into the purse while the money gets 'directed'. The SARU CEO, Jurie Roux, is also dodging financial fraud charges in a way that'd make Jacob Zuma proud. [/QUOTE]
