[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 807510, member: 40658"] But why?? Why must the rest of the world always try to convert into an American-type system?? USA is one of the very few countries that doesn't use the metric system, yet everyone agrees that it's a much less confusing system than the Miles/Inches/Yards they use in the USA. Super Rugby isn't a national tournament either as is the case with most of the USA's sports (sure they throw in a few Canadian teams in as well). it's an international tournament that is now being hosted in 6 different countries! New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Argentina, Japan and Singapore. It boasts more time zones than the USA, more distance being traveled than the USA, yet for some reason the Administrators thought that the USA system would be the best fit. Instead they opened up more problems than solutions, and instead of uniting the different nations, has made polarization an even bigger problem. I hate that we want to convert to USA-ideas all the time, and this conference system is just another system that shouldn't catch on internationally. [/QUOTE]
