[QUOTE="galumay, post: 848582, member: 74590"] One thing all this passionate diescussion shows is that there is no easy solution to the problems facing Super Rugby and there are just about as many ideas about what is wrong and how to fix it as there are people talking about it! All of this implies its extremely unlikely SANZAR's changes will end up anything more than fiddling round the edges, we will not have addressed the underlying issues and still retain things like the unpopular conference system. I dont see the basic proposal of 3 less teams changing anything going forward, NZ will still dominate, Aus & SA teams will still muddle along and the experiment with SW and Jaguares will be no less unsuccessful. Even after reading 5 pages of high quality discussion about the changes and other possible ideas, I am still of a view that nothing will materially change unless the whole concept of Super Rugby is redesigned from the start, with the first step being to detirmine whether its even practicable to have a Southern Hemisphere rugby comp involving such geographically distant countries.
