The fact the SANZAR is sending the decision for the 15th team to arbitrators shows up SANZAR for the farce it is. Did anyone think that it would be any different?

Are they both so gullible, stupid and ignorant that they really thought that one would vote for the other?

What a waste of time and and embarrassment for rugby.

What is, or was, New Zealand’s stance? How much money has been spent? How many lunches, dinners and stays in extravagant hotels did they enjoy?

I’m not certain about how they work anything much out, but seriously this looks really really stupid and doesn’t justify a long thought out article, merely the creation of a forum for anyone else who thinks this whole thing is a farce to let rip and vent their exacerbation, no matter which side of the fence you’re from.
