With the Top teams meeting in a Super Bowl type of final. Atlantic/Indian League: - 2 Argentine Teams. (Buenes Aries & Mendoza) - Western Force. - 6 SA Teams (including the Spears). Pacific Rim League: -2 Nippon Teams. (the Kamikaze's and the Shoguns). -3 Aussie. -5 NZ. -1 Pacific Island Team ( the Cannibal's.....based most likely in Suva). Otherwise the travel is just ridiculous. An Expanded Super Competition, incorporating Japan, a Pacific Islands Team and Argentina would need to be split into two Leagues.

The top few are probably as good as the top few in the S14. granted they have more poor quality clubs and players plying their trade. #4 DonutDunning: Hey, not all the European Clubs are crappy.

They have never shown any interest in this in the past. To be honest I don't think their egos are ready for the harsh reality that their crappy club competition wouldn't compete with most of the S14 clubs. Love him or hate him (in most cases hate him), John O'Neill knows his stuff when it comes to these sorts of issues. All 3 SANZAR members lost out in the last broadcasting deal. I think an expanded Super Competition would actually clash with the Tri-Nations (which needs some adjustment anyway), not the Currie Cup or New Zealand NPC. #3 I wanna be coach: You really think the Europeans want the Boks in their competition?

The game and quality of it is more important than that. But seriously if O'Neill wants us to suffer by ending our currie cup he can piss off! Why must we sell our soul for his coffers!?! If this expanded season long competition is what he ultimately wants he can join NZ, Japan and the Pacific Islands and start a new competition. We can start a new one with european clubs in that case! Same time zone and more money, and still keep our Currie cup. Much better plan in my opinion All a Japanese team will do is buy more New Zealand players so I struggle to see the point of that bar the money side of things.

The criminals are jealous because they cannot afford to have a domestic competiton, hell even thier players had to take a pay cut because they deep financial poo and that is why he wants some Jap Yen, note no mention about the Argies from him. Well I do not wanr Japs involved in any Super comp expansion period. The criminals can go there if they and they can take the kiwis with if they want. As for expanding the S14 play offs forget it. It will turn out the same as the expanded 3N ... Boring. O’Neill is just a criminal looking to steal as much as he can so that he can have fat pockets.
