Super Rugby Tier1 : teams
1. Chiefs
2. Highlanders
3. Hurricanes
4. Stormers
5. Sharks
6. Vodacom Blue bulls
7. Lions
8. Brumbies
9. Waratahs
10. Crusaders
11. Rebels
12. Cheetahs
esentially this will be a super 12 rugby franchises
the 2nd tier would be the following teams:
1. Jaguares
2. HITO-Comunications Sunwolves
3. Western Force
4. Blues
5. Queensland Reds
6. Kobe Steel Kobelco Steelers(Japan)
7. NTT Docomo Red hurricanes(Japan)
8. Boland Kavaliers( South Africa)
9. GWK Griquas( South Africa)
10. Pampas( Argentina)
11. Southern Kings( South Africa)
12. Pumas( South Africa)
this would be tier 2 i think this would be a much more efficient system as this will allow teams to progress to the 1st tier based on merit or how well they perform 18 Oct 14:54
WAKE UP POWERS WHO BE
Just a curve-ball thought to stir the pot a bit: The NFL has been successfully running a similar conference based regular season structure with a rotating annual fixture spread (where each team goes up against all of the other teams across multiple seasons) for many years. Whether or not that gives an accurate "true reflection" of the best team in the tournament for the season is debatable, but it does serve its purpose. The powers that be would've had some valid reasons for the decision to implement the conference based season structure, and that's something we'd not all necessarily be privy to.
All I know is that I look forward to more teams (hopefully) playing a very attacking and running brand of rugby next year! Go Stormers!
Thanks. 12 Oct 12:32
