New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Wb1234]

Union fans make it very hard to like their sport.
RA Chairman said our Players couldn’t do a spelling bee
Union journalist Fitzsimmons throws cheap shots at league every week in his column and socials.
Even former wallaby and now Sports presenter Matt Burke laughed at our recent PI Tournament

Why do they have to be so mean and nasty

Even if they were nice it’s still union

Even English super league is better to watch that any union game

Bro, I don't care if you don't like rugby, don't like watching it, think it's a nothing game, it really doesn't matter to me, I enjoy it. In fact, it actually gives an insight into why you can't have a rational discussion about this topic. Your hate blinds you. Me, I'm good watching and enjoying both sports so I'm pretty happy there's more people playing both league and rugby in NZ this year than last.

Bro, I think you do care because you wrote a whole paragraph..
Anyway, you missed the point. It's not a question of if I like it or hate it or you like it or hate it.
It's not personal, it is simply shit as a fact.
If you like shit things, that's fine, doesn't make it any less shit. I actually expect the people who would like it to be exactly like you. Pompous, arrogant and disingenuous... Union people.

Looks like a super league war is about to break out in Union

Wonder if they have signed up any all blacks yet

“Given the Wallabies’ struggles on the field over the past decade, it’s understood the new competition is targeting New Zealanders over Australians to begin with.”

This comes at the worst possible time for rugby Australia negotiations

How much will STAN pay for a Super Rugby comp devoid of all its best players ??

You don't know what a fact is ... this thread provides ample evidence of that.

My comment applies to them just as much as it does to people like wb and gobsmacked.

Law tweaks would be implemented to try and make the game more attractive

How many groups of people have done this over the years?

It’s happened around the globe many, many times.

Directly in:
- Rugby League
- American Football
- Canadian Football
- Rugby 7s
- This breakaway competition

Arguably or indirectly in:
- Melbourne Rules Football
- Gaelic Football

Has it ever worked in any if those comps ?

If this Union breakaway comp happens I can't see it lasting more than 1 season, they are talking about selling out stadiums in the USA ! Dream on !

Seeming they have all become successful sports in their own right, the answer is a resounding yes.

Didn’t old mate already try this when the force got kicked out?

Doubt it’ll get off the ground but if it did it mightn’t be the worst thing for Union, the north rules the admin and are very self serving whilst the playing power has usually been in the South, providing an alternative could be a good thing for them

It’s his opinions which he tends to perceive as ‘facts’.
I’m not the biggest fan of soccer and AFL, personally they don’t hold my attention so I don’t tend to watch them often- I don’t wish their death, and guess what? there’s plenty of room for them to exist

Tell that to the rfu ffr sari irb

League isn’t the sport with a problem of allowing other codes to coexist

This is the oil money that the irb said no too

The point was all those sports or leagues decided that Rugby Union rules needed rule changes to make the game more attractive. Its about the one thing oval ball football fans agree on.

Global Rapid Rugby

imagine being so wealthy you can stick the middle finger up to Rugby Australia by creating your own league.

Isn’t this a bit like what happened with World Series cricket? It went alright. Agree though that this never really goes well.
