[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 1147935, member: 45355"] no, japan looked like they werent going to get the franchise renewed (possibly confirmed) as i say because they didnt have the backing of JRU and so were losing money hand over fist, i get that argument but its sets a precedent, i think we should have worked out a way for the winner of the japanese domestic league to play super rugby the next season or something, just to get JRU on board Jags were still locked in pre COVID, as you say they made the final and were growing very nicely Much like the South African teams, there was lots of debate about how well the format worked, time of games , like games in south africa were often during the day meaning middle of the night for us to watch but we played all our games at 7:50 so SA fans could get up and watch first thing in the morning, a demand of having the larger TV deal apparently. Whilst there was lots of chat about if there was a better way to run it...generally i think people still wanted SA in the comp, it was only COVID that forced the issue [/QUOTE]
