[QUOTE="saulan, post: 848368, member: 60236"] Yes, but that loss in New Zealand from lack of Australia doesn't outweigh the loss of South Africa's viewers. and on the North American front, you guys have a hard time getting into the competition already, my friend in LA has no interest in attempting to watch it because it's apparently a mountain of a cost to watch through the services available. In addition, that North American factor doesn't outweigh the European factor, who already have a strong interest in watching rugby, which would suffer if SA were dropped. I disagree with Heineken on this. It is too much, and clearly people in South Africa do feel this way because of the weigh South Africans have stopped attending and watching Currie Cup matches. Super Rugby matches give us two clashes between some teams at the start of the year, but by the time we get to the Currie Cup, we have seen it already and now we may watch it another three times? If we scrap the double derbies in Super Rugby I am sure we will have more interest back into the Currie Cup. We didn't want them, Australia did because they had no other domestic league to follow.
