"We are very serious about Japan," he said last night. "We want to really accelerate Japan's move into the proper professional era. There is the possibility of a Bledisloe Cup being played in Tokyo, a Pacific Rim tournament, and a team based in Japan playing in Super rugby."
Looks like the ARU are trying to get more money into the game before it goes under. The ARU already has an issue with depth yet they want to expand the super 14 to a super 15 or maybe 16 and put Aussies in a Tokyo based side. If I was John I would be more worried about the issues Rugby has in its own backyard then trying to expand into other countries that really in Rugby terms have no chance. Rugby in Australia is already a distant 4th in the sporting codes and will continue to spiral down unless thay start investing money back into their own backyard. AFL & SOCCER are moving in with the NRL putting up a fight and the ARU putting up a white flag.
