Interesting note about a quota for Super Rugby players per team, and that non-playing Wallabies will be allocated a team. Wonder how that will work out?

Are Easts and Randwick part of the NSW Country team?
they're not included in the Press release:
EDIT: just saw this on FoxSports:
“And in a wonderful development for rugby a NSW Country team … both Easts and Randwick will have an association with the NSW Country team who will actually be based out of Moore Park

I know this has probably been noted ad nauseam in the development of the competition, but why does QLD only have two teams?

I wonder how many country players will move to Randwick or Easts next year ???

Tranquility I'd say QLD has only 2 teams because of the lack of bickering and in-fighting causing difficulty in parties merging interests. That and the Clubs have left it to the QRU to manage.
As a QLD'er, I think 2 teams is more than adequate. For the competition to reach ITM/Currie Cup standard, the concentration of talent is right.

Personally I hope the Quota system merely prevents any warehousing and keeps players generally located where they already are.

I would like to applaud all involved including the ARU.
Getting to this point would have been no small effort.
I like the wide mix of interests that have been brought together and really pleased with the involvement of Qld & NSW Country teams. The Mungos have slaughtered their game in NSW country and at least this will do something for Rugby in those towns.
I reckon the Comp will be interesting and maybe even popular although I don't underestimate the challenge in getting people to attend games.
Sure there is a lot more work to do however so far, so good.

I heard the Randwick bid didn't have the money. Have they merged with Country or missed out?

Very interested to find out ticket prices, merch prices, even memberships.
Exciting, but so much detail to obtain first. Looking forward to it!

Rams have been pushing for a colts comp since day one. Not sure its a goer from the ARU's head.
good news is on facebook they're talking about expanding as quickly as is viable and if need be as well. I know people talk about how it mightn't be viable etc but it means there's aspirations coming from the ARU and that's a good thing.

I think because that's all the backing they could get. None of the clubs wanted to shell out the money so the QRU is effectively backing both teams and couldn't take on anymore.
