[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 730586, member: 12207"] "Incomplete and immature" don't really apply to what this competition is. It's actually very rational from an economic standpoint, it's simply indifferent to the "competitive balance" that you're demanding because it's economically less viable to support. In that sense complaining about it is the truly immature response. It's a simple matter of money versus fairness; the NZRU and ARU have decided they'd rather accommodate a system that makes the arduous travel from South Africa more manageable, and in doing so have given up some fairness. Also, for the record, the difference between the Highlanders and Waratahs is hardly worth getting your knickers in a twist over - after all, it's the difference of a bonus point. In reality they're a dead heat - both won 11 and lost 5, and the Highlanders just pipped the Tahs in a tight one where they had the home ground advantage. [/QUOTE]
