New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Gobsmacked]

You find it interesting that I don't advocate for a match with a gigantic imbalance? As much as I like to see the South get beaten like a red head step son it's not beneficial to anyone to hold matches where they're trying to keep the score under 50..

The other NZers on this thread express the same sentiment (even the one who hates rugby as much as you do) yet you and your hissy fitting buddy oddly only seem to be attacking me for it.

I think you're confused me with a different topic. I'm talking a South Island NRL franchise, not the discussion about a North vs South Island..Origin type fixture. I don't think that would work for the same reason Tasmania vs Mainland doesn't, there's an imbalance and no real rivalry.
It's just people seeing blobs on a map.
2 NZ NRL franchises on the other hand..

You responded to a post directly discussing NI v SI.

Furthermore, I've never been anti NZ2, I'm just pro building up domestic league in NZ too.
