[QUOTE="AM_Bokke, post: 901332, member: 76028"] If SA leaves, I think that the Australia/Asia/NZ comp will need to have a draft for ALL players not just PI players. High quality NZ players will need to be spread throughout the competition for it to be competitive at all. NZ does not want to open its player pool because they need as tight a relationship as possible between players and fans to monetize their small market. I personally think that SA leaving SR will be very bad for rugby in NZ and therefore very bad for rugby in general. Kiwi everything - players, coaches, playing styles - is the only thing that makes rugby remotely interesting as a spectator sport to casual fans in the international market. Also, a comp without SA will generate significantly less revenue. Capped PI players will not find the league financially attractive. [/QUOTE]
