[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 918885, member: 45355"] firstly there is a difference between possibly closing the gab between the AB's and the rest of the world, unproven and definitely limiting a teams selection pool I have considered that Otago wouldnt be in the Cup comp, but by making the Mitre 10 cup the premier comp again teams in the championship would have more power to attract players like otago have always done before and in the early years of super rugby, I love seeing seven or eight former Otago Boys guys running out for otago but we struggle to bring in that key player we might need to fill a hole. a more interesting list for me is the different unions that would have played in the cup comp over the years, there havent been the same 5 teams for ages, moves the excitement of the cup comp around the country a little, the only really constant teams are canterbury, counties and recently tasman. in the last decade we would have had teams like BoP, Naki, Hawkes Bay and Southland all hosting RSA and Aussie teams as well as the more predictable wellington, waikato, cant, auck etc...thats exciting where did you get that list? we weren't ranked first this year, Waikato finished the round robin on top [/QUOTE]
