@KiwiMurph NICE
In other news, NH rugby said they don't want the springboks in their comp
Don't care how they ended up staying, but they are
Yeah it is good for SH rugby.

It’s the best decision IMO. It retains robustness in the SH competitions and dies not further overcrowd the NH comps. Moreover and as far as the NH goes, is SA a financially sensible gamble? Maybe, but one I’d bet the house on, especially when you don’t need to.
Good outcome I reckon.

Strange he is doubling down when all international press says 10 years. Although having read his article, he has obviously got a few screws loose.Has for years.
Been a bit quiet in recent years.

was it a success?
well, Australia came last, that's pretty good

One big positive would be far less travel for the players.

although with SA back in, I'd be more inclined to just play one another 1 time, and if they really want another game, have a 1-2 play off and 3-4?
Or, is this where they bring in an Island side?
CReating a bye weekend helps reduce the impact of multiple games over consecutive weeks

If, I know it's crazy talk, you read the article the CEO said that they now know it works in a single location. Not that a single location is an aim, just that you can do it if you need to
“Another positive from this competition has been the realisation from the members that if required in future years, the concept of a centralised TRC is very possible with the prospect of double-header rounds a huge benefit for the local fans and wider broadcast audience across the four geographies.”
