Super Rugby retrying expansion with a USA team.
Looks like the plan is a 4 conference expansion to 20 teams which will likely include a team in the USA.
Time will tell if it happens. But they should have a bit more success than the AFL is having in China.

Don't think this will be a smart move considering all the travel. its bad enough travel to Africa, Japan and argentina.NRL&NFLweLaughATafl wrote: βSun May 06, 2018 8:25 amLooks like the plan is a 4 conference expansion to 20 teams which will likely include a team in the USA.

The new Major League Rugby looks to succeed where pro rugby failed and have a second year. They should leave it to them and let them expand their own comp.

Re: Super Rugby retrying expansion with a USA team.
Barely Im afraid but its still being played. Either way Australia is only a small piece of World rugby. The game is expanding and with MLR in Usa kicking off and the new South American rugby comp starting next year expect it to get even bigger.SportCapital wrote: βSun May 06, 2018 7:09 pmOh, wait a minute.

Re: Super Rugby retrying expansion with a USA team.
would be stupid for the ARU to expand to USA and the current super 15 structured comp
like what rugby 365 stated> USA rugby to make an north American comp
have heard reports that South Arfrican teams could split at end of deal in 2021
and play in Europe>
if I was them I would too>>

Re: Super Rugby retrying expansion with a USA team.
I don't get why that don't just have a giant global comp with relegation or conference style and include all nations teams in both hemispheres.rugby365 wrote: βMon May 07, 2018 3:10 pmBarely Im afraid but its still being played.

Re: Super Rugby retrying expansion with a USA team.
It will be logistical nightmare and cost a fortune. A world club championship like league would be great but finding the time to do it would be the main issue.NRL&NFLweLaughATafl wrote: βMon May 07, 2018 6:22 pmI don't get why that don't just have a giant global comp with relegation or conference style and include all nations teams in both hemispheres.rugby365 wrote: βMon May 07, 2018 3:10 pmBarely Im afraid but its still being played.

Re: Super Rugby retrying expansion with a USA team.
Yeah theres been a lot of talk because the SAANZAR deal ends in 2020. Though i love super rugby cost wise it will be best for SA to go up north and Australia, NZ and Japan (Maybe Argentina) have their own comp. Hopefully by then Australian rugby would have sorted out their issuesleeroy*NRL* wrote: βMon May 07, 2018 5:11 pmwould be stupid for the ARU to expand to USA and the current super 15 structured comp

for me, I like Australian sides vs SA sides>> but hate the time zone differences.
yes especially the last 1-2 years it is looking more and more like it will become a Aus NZ Pacific comp
(for me I think Ralene Castle is pathetic)

Re: Super Rugby retrying expansion with a USA team.
Yeah cost is a big issue. When I think about it. Is probably best to have a local comp in each nation and have a short champions league with all the premiers in each nation.rugby365 wrote: βTue May 08, 2018 10:43 amIt will be logistical nightmare and cost a fortune.

That way they still keep the game local. But get international interest too then.
