[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 806734, member: 72520"] The problem with a relegation system across 4 countries is that, realistically the top tier is just going to be NZ with a few SA and Oz dotted about. Then, because so many Oz & SA teams would be in a tier 2, less money would be invested and they'd fall behind the rest of the pack. All I can see happening is it turning NZ into even more of a super power, as that is where all the Tier 1 money would be going. It would also mean that the top couple of Oz/SA teams that scraped their way in would eventually just poach any decent players from their respective countries meaning that there would be a huge lack of depth to choose from for the National sides.
