I am still adamant that the competition should be the following
Brumbies
Reds
Waratahs
Rebels
Force
Drua
Samoa
Tonga
Then two more teams
1 x NSW and 1 x QLD which is a representative team made up of the best players from QLD Prems and Shute Shield respectively. They can both play in Brisbane and Sydney to keep the club fans happy, while the Reds and Waratahs can take their 'brand' to areas away from Sydney and Brisbane.
Use the brands to build the competition and greater engagement with the community and appease the clubs with having their 'own' team rewarding the best of the best in these competitions, so the players are going against pros to show them what they can do at that level. Also allows for greater combinations to be built with the existing teams into their respective competitions
