Better Rugby Rules

Source: O’Neill wants to align provincial competitions  – Sunday Star Times

With the Super 14,15,18, 100, whatever, the current second tier non professional level is like a wet fish, just not that interesting. The Ab’s wont be playing in provincial sides as they have duties else where, the NPC would be further diluted of senior and skilled players with the never ending player drain. So I guess a non/semi professional Australasian Cup is the next best thing. How this work I have no idea, how would the NZRU deal withe ARU power plays, dunno. How would revenue be made and shared, dunno.

So Teams for the non professional ANZAC NPC could be:
1) Otago
2) Canterbury
3) Wellington
4) Hawkes Bay
5) Taranaki
6) Waikato
7) Auckland
8 ) NSW
9) Queensland
10) Perth
11) Canberra
12) Melbourne (???)

Note: There should be promotion and relegation, with this as well, no team should be in it by right.
