New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[flippikat]

Two separate national leagues would be the best outcome for everybody. Chuck some sort of champions league together to fill out the season as well.

It'd hurt in the short term, but it'd be their best chance for growth in the long term.

Add 2 Japanese sides & open eligibility for All Blacks selection.

NZ players can then go to Australia & Japan, earn a bit more, but still be in the Super Rugby competition.

Next phase of expansion would be West Coast of America (Say Vancouver & LA).

Move towards a Pacific rim club competition, eventually with divisions - and crucially, open player movement.

For East Coast American clubs (eg New York, Miami, Toronto), get them into the European system, which would eventually switch to summer at the pro-level, to standardize the global calendar.

Yes it splits North America in half, but it goes some way towards solving travel demands.

The future of rugby union should be east (Pacific, Asia, Western America) & West (Europe, Africa, Eastern America) not northern Hemisphere & southern Hemisphere.

Time zones and travel dictate it.

You're entire argument is based on 1 article ? The journalist knows a mate who knows a mate you had access to the top secret figures that show tv ratings are growing year on year ? That would make Super Rugby the only sport in history where the stadium audience isn't a direct indicator to the TV audience ie: decreasing year on year.

The original question was would a second team in NZ make a dent in Rugby ? The answer is Yes it absolutely would.

Actually it's the second article to say the same thing, And today a third.. So yes sadly for you it's true.

"New Zealand Rugby head of professional rugby Chris Lendrum refrained from digging into the subject when asked on Friday, although he did call engagement levels “really high”, which was reflected in broadcast numbers" .. you know the organisation that has an ownership in SkyTV.

And it just shows again, that you Australians don;t know a thing about NZ.

And It wasn't a question it was a statement. One that doesn't have a single bit of evidence to back it up. And a "dent" is a little different to "massive damage. You guys are getting more and more desperate.

That has no chance of happening, and it shouldn't. It would be an expensive top heavy comp.

If things dont change in Aussie, in four years it will revert to Home series. NZ will have an 8 team home and away comp and Australia five. Japan has no interest in having teams in a combined comp as their domestic comp is going great.
After their respective comps there will be a "champions" play off with the top two\four of each comp. This provides plenty of development and interest in each of their respective countries.

That all assumes of course that South Africa doesn't come crawling back... for some reason the talk there is getting louder by the day.

It's funny you trying to get this account of yours banned.

It's clear you don't have anything... its funny.

Not really surprising now that NZ2 is dead, not that it was ever really a starter.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

The moneys in Japan (and in WA lol). Im surprised they havent already looked there rather than worry about if Australia can keep up. The financial spin offs for increased interest in the All Black brand in Japan would be massive.

Problem would be the quality of the Japanese sides is even worse than the Australian ones.

I'd laugh my guts out if the Force were the only Australian Super Rugby team to survive under a private equity deal. With Twiggy at the helm of the Force there's a chance of that happening.

The Australian clubs should join the Japanese competition. Both countries benefit from it.

"octaine"??
"Prisioners"?
"stupor"?
"wugby"?

Australian education leaves a lot to be desired.

And then there is the mythical what if... problem with that is, if there is Rugby on, then not many actually watch the Warriors, so your what if is moot, much like this thread.

And even those who actually do watch will soon turn off with all the crap calls that an NZ team get from Aussie Refs. And then lets not mention all the losses....
