I’m incautiously pessimistic.

I think it’s 50-50 at this point. SA clubs to Europe/UK or stay in modified SR.

PSDT would be the first to admit he really doesn’t need the money. There’s a few like him; but the main trend will still be to go north to get €.

The Wallaby pack has to power up, the backs have to kick better and feature more pace, and standards have to be as high as possible. A smart 10 is a must. It’ll take more than one season to come right. Australia has an annoyingly amazing chief rival!

And they REALLY are stupid. Seriously. So, until we do that, NH clubs clean our closets.

Exactly. First, they will actually hire pros—at business, not ex-players—and know how to MARKET a cool product. Second, they are smart and aggressive in actual business.

He did play rugby. But he’s probably not interested in the Blues. Maybe the Melbourne Mavericks. Luca as a mobile 8.

I don’t think they’ve been allowed to bid properly for SA and NZ clubs. Maybe I’m wrong about OZ.

Australia, South Africa and New Zealand surely have enough rugby-mad tycoons to truly and finally professionalize our lovely sport, and take on the British, European and Japanese clubs. The shambolic administration of talent-rich but threadbare South African unions (they can barely be called professional franchises); the tiny scale of NZ gate and merchandising revenue; and the old blazer boy governance of Australian rugby … it is not going to bring bums back on seats to see the best play the best, because so many are gone gone gone, and they ain’t coming back.

Everything is in flux. Everything. So, it’s fine to run hypotheticals. But characterizing the “problem” as SA not “bringing enough” is just weird. The SH is trying to build rugby revenue streams. SA has been a payor, not a beggar, for a long time in that broader relationship.

South Africa brings a lot to Super Rugby – just not enough

Good point on needing to tailor make Folau’s contract. He signed a gag deal in France, and seems fine to abide by it.
