With the impending demise of one our Super Rugby teams all but decided, the question is now which team should go. I generally like…
There have been many ideas mentioned recently in the media about how to establish a third tier in Australian rugby. Some of the ideas…
Rhys Bosley – despite what you say, I do have the best interest at heart, as I state in my article – I wrote this based on the understanding that an Australian team has already been decided to be cut, not because I agree that a team should be cut. The mods themselves have cut out a large piece of my article where I stated my opinion on that I believe all teams should stay under a different competition format

Hi tc,
The mods cut out a large piece of my article where I stated my opinion on that I believe all teams should stay under a different competition format. My personal opinion is that no teams need be cut. I think a simple two pool system could have been drafted up, with the pools as follows:
Pool A
Kings
Cheetahs
Sharks
Stormers
Lions
Bulls
Jaguares
Western Force
Pool B
Blues
Chiefs
Hurricanes
Crusaders
Highlanders
Rebels
Reds
Waratahs
Brumbies
Sunwolves
Top three from pool B and top 2 from pool a go into a finals series with locations and status of games to be decided by the number of points that the qualifying teams achieve. Yes there are two less teams in Pool A but I am sure that could be figured out Given the political nature of the Kings in South Africa I don’t believe they will be cut (I am probably wrong). As many people have mentioned on this site previously if Australia need to cut a team than a Brumbies/Rebels merger should be considered, then you would have pools of 9 & 8 – pretty even.
