Super 15 (17) News

Post by RagingBull »

Super 15 looks like it may be expanding to 17.

interesting news about the Argentina team. Hope Matera doesn't join, but could see it happening.

I don't think Ayerza would move unless they do you cant play for you country I you don't play in Argentina.

I'd imagine Marcos must be lining up a testimonial in his next contract/at the end of it as I would imagine it may take him up to the required 10 years.

All well and good, but this is increasingly a Aus/NZ benefit fest, as many SA clubs and commentators have noted.
Jet lag has become a massive problem for SA teams (they travel East) and may have health consequences (partly because of the chronotherapy used), hence their interest in games in Europe.
The Argentines will only go East to SA.
It will be interesting to see if there are effects on the Aus/NZ teams.

Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.
