[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 806782, member: 73648"] which is exactly what an all-star competition is, it's players playing based off of where they happen to be from or where they played club rugby. I guess this is an American view on sports. Do I need to send you links to millions of pages of literature about how efficiency always wins. and I'm gonna be completely honest with you, you sound like an asshole who is trying to hold onto the fact that club rugby in their country might actually mean something the players want to leave as soon as possible, the games even though they are incredibly high in rugby talent are boring to watch, and the Australian sides are bleeding money i really think you misread my meaning of "all star competition" by all star i meant the teams are composed of players who are selected based off of their regional affiliations, the way all star teams are chose in the USA... these teams have no natural rivalries and there is no inherent connection between club and its surrounding areas Toulon may have all star talent on their team but they are not an all star team, they are an actual club with over a 100 years of history and regional pride, you don't get that in Super Rugby I am pretty confident to say that my vision of rugby's future will be more accurate than yours in 10 years [/QUOTE]
