I think what the Reds are doing with Bennetton is another example that can be orchestrated at the Super Rugby club level without RA interventionThis is the problem with professional sports; they are a business who want to succeed today.
Why would a franchise have an inexperienced back up when they can have someone with experience? I think the Brumbies success is partly due to being able to put Jack Debreczeni on as a reserve.
The solution is a genuine third tier competition or some type of scholarship where RA helps them play overseas for a few years, but they are contracted to return to a franchise that RA chooses. This will never happen, but we have seen how NPC experience can help a young player improve.
