[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 807669, member: 73648"] i really like that all the problems you guys have with super rugby are some of the problems that I have with the american sports systems Mainly: 1. regular season means almost nothing, it's just a qualifying tourney 2. records cannot be used to fairly compare teams since they all play different schedules 3. we don't get to see the games that we want to see... there's no guarantee of teams playing everone and if something wonky happens in playoffs they won't even get to play each other all year Other things that you haven't mentioned (in fact some of you are in love with one of them) 3. restrictions on the movement of player labour by national teams not picking players playing out of country (people love the free market everywhere except their sports for some reason) 4. salary cap (if all factories in england agreed to put a cap on wages in order to prevent competition between them people would throw a goddamn riot) [/QUOTE]
