[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1159453, member: 74121"] Brumbies doing good. Waratahs, Reds and u20s all doing okayish. A different coach and a coherent squad selection and they would probably be in the semifinals with the crazy draw. Those are the positives. Their days of challenging the top 4 positions in the world have been gone for a long time and probably won't be coming back any time soon. Solutions: i) Stop being elitist domestically (which helps drive young athletes towards other sports) ii) Cut a Super Rugby side (not something I would propose as it is incredibly short termist) OR iii) (my preference) build more squad strength in Super Rugby with affordable imports from South America, Fiji and Georgia (all places with comparatively low costs of living).
