I can only see rugby expanding in Aus & NZ at the expense of yawnion. Which will be interesting for SA. There is definitely the money in inetrnational yawnion to support them playing in the Sic Nations.

Try fest in the Munster/Australia "match".

80 minutes. No tries. Zilch. Zero. Bugger all.

But it was raining...

Magic Munster is the headline everwhere.

Yeah right!

You are a joker, Cats.

As I said, all three are non-starters. If South Africa do up and leave the competition, I think union in Australia will be in for a very, very rough ride.

Thanks. So the South African national team would join the six nations but what about the club sides? The Heineken cup would surely be impossible due to travel and financial constraints, so I'd imagine they'd form there own six team competition.

So the Six Nations becomes the Seven Nations, meaning it lasts even longer and causes more disruption for the Premier Rugby member clubs? That would go down well I bet...

I'm not saying I think it will actually happen. As I've said, I don't think there will be a split in SANZAR.
