In 2011, the Super Rugby expansion continues with the Super 14 expanding to become a Super 15 with a Melbourne based team taking up the 15th franchise.
Finally, a little imagination and standardisation will occur with the competition split into three conferences, something promoted here for the past decade.
Teams will play home and away against each team in their conference and then play 4 of the teams in the other two conferences. The top two teams in each conference will make the playoffs.
Super Rugby will take a better step forward in 2011.
I think it’s going to be interesting, even though there’s bound to be more “fighting” between the different rugby clubs and owners.
I thought you might also want to take a look at this super 14 site… pretty interesting.
