A great concept. The game has been drawing small crowds compared to RL. To grow and build the game starts at grass roots. The PL should be the step to the NRC with Paficic nation members then to the Super Rugby. Give the supporters a team that is their team, they can be passionate about and is on the National and International focus. The expanded game as you state would provide more opportunites for young local players and the opportunity to play constantly with the experienced international players. the grouping of the teams and the nations, well that is up for discussion.

The attendance at local games is low and also at NRC level. Apparently Foxtel were surprised at the number of viewers. Expand this viewing to easier access such as the streaming via say Tenplay, ABC Iview or SBS On demand and this would help reach a larger audience. Rugby.com streams but it appears not so many are aware.
The addition of other countries especially the Pacific rim who show a massive emotion about their rugby would be a big influence. America is becoming a strong player and look at how they have grabbed hold of the World Series Rugby7’s.
