    NH rugby said they don't want the springboks in their comp

    In a Covid world, the financial drawing power of the NH is cruelly declining.

    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.

    Both NZR and SARU, and AR with respect to their Super teams, have shown that rugby agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on. So he might well be correct

    On balance I'll still take the global press over the ramblings of a stir-crazy saffa.

    Has for years.

    Been a bit quiet in recent years.

    'The concept of a centralised TRC is very possible' - SANZAAR set to consider tournament format after Tri Nations success

    'The concept of a centralised TRC is very possible' - SANZAAR set to consider tournament format after Tri Nations success

    Rugby's SANZAAR says it's open to the concept of again playing a centralised tournament-style competition following the success of the Tri Nations in Australia.

    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.”

    I like the idea of a centralized comp in one place with double headers. Give each member nation a defined year to host it, agreed in advance at the inception of the broadcast deal.

    Either a straight 3 week tournament with no byes, or play twice over 7 weekends with the bye in the middle. No nonsense playoffs/finals pls, just a straight points table like the 6 Nations.

    It's more like the RWC that way, so better preparation.

    Hell, while you're at it add in Japan and a Pasfika side and make it triple headers. Then it becomes a 5 week tournament, or 6 with a bye weekend, exactly like the 6 Nations.

    Basically the 6 Nations is the best tournament format, and they have the advantage of low travel. Having TRC all in one place each year makes it possible to mimic this successful format more closely.

    @TeWaio yeah it's not a bad idea, although I think maybe to make it "come around" a bit quicker, perhaps 2 countries a year as hosts.
