Plenty of us have been calling for domestic to be the new norm. TT can follow seamlessly.
Where to for Super Rugby?

I think what he wants is a home and away seperately and then top teams form both comps playing off somehow.

I want what we had this year. Then follow with TT however you wish to arrange it.

I think long term, 5 teams in a comp is insufficient and will become stale very quickly - I would rather NSW & QLD field an additional team each, and then perhaps an 8th team (Japan/Fiji/ or PE Western or Northern Sydney)
If NZ got to a comp of the same number would be helpful for TT - As Top 4 could play a cup and bottom 4 play a plate (ideally with the Plate winner getting a wildcard into the Cup finals)

No one is saying that.
They’re suggesting Super Rugby AU tournament like this year, followed by a TT tournament

WHY

Nick Farr-Jones (63)
because it’s the easiest way to plan for professional club rugby in 2021 given the uncertainty of COVID, Australians still can’t travel to New Zealand without 2 weeks quarantine, there’s no guarantee that will change by February.
What is it you’re actually questioning here? I’m confused

dude, everyone is suggesting the TT Comp goes ahead, just after all the Aussie and kiwi teams have played their internal matches

No, that’s not what i suggested, never was it said this would only be for the top teamsZ
QWERTY, it’s a TT featuring all teams, which takes plaice after Super AU

I'm a fan and I would like a domestic competition followed by a champions cup and also ran's shield.
Ultimately an 8 team comp in Australia (including the Drua) with the top 4 qualifying for the champions cup and the bottom 4 the other. Include teams from Japan and maybe SLAR in the champions cup.

There are literally 100s of pages of posts on this so why the feined surprise? Plenty of fans do NOT want a Super unless problems of the past are unravelled. To make a TT work requires two to tango, one party being NZR who have shown scant interest so far in anything that comes slightly close to working for Aus rugby. Which is their call. And we should then stand firm with our own comp.
A compromise is domestic followed by TT that can involve all teams. But it is a compromise.

Is it really a compromise though, if AUS/NZ can manage 6 teams each, then separate domestic competitions followed by champions league surely would be the best option moving forward financially, the issue is the 6th team for each country.
TT is not the best option it is the preferred option to suit specific interests.

Don’t have an issue with this.

Thinking outside of the TRC (formerly RC), what is the go with the Argentinians?
I understand they are without their Euro players? Do they have a comp back in America? Might they be interested in Aus? (or NZ). Setting up here for 2021 might not be a bad option.
Apologies in advance as this has inevitably been discussed. The only discussion I can recall is “they are all going to Europe” when patently not all have.
