[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 813474, member: 40658"] The problem is that it during the Super 15/16 the teams played more matches in the regular season than they are doing now with the conference system. And one of the big talking points are player burnout and that the season is too long. So the balancing act the administrators have to do becomes so much more difficult as the needs of the fans, the players and the franchises all have to be weighed into the scales. If we go to more teams, we will lose the identity of what Super Rugby has always been, which was a strength vs. strength contest. We all want the teams to play each other at least once. We don't want a NH or American model, we want our old model back. It wasn't broken, it didn't need fixing. [/QUOTE]
