Re: Trans-Tasman comp to replace Super Rugby in 2021
blah blah blah Now that NZR & RA have obviously sorted out some type of combined position to take to the venture capital shops and broadcasters There is no "combined position".

Re: Trans-Tasman comp to replace Super Rugby in 2021
NZR has got the extremely popular SR Aotearoa for 2021. Imagine being the poor bloke from RA trying to sell a tournament that doesn't include NZ teams...
Any news on that broadcasting deal?
