Super Rugby 2022

@Gunner in fairness, when they developed the comp there were no guarantees that all the games would be played.
So I think it's twofold - a hedge against cancelled games and teams not missing out because of that, and a naked money grab to get more revenue at the pointy end fo the season. I can understand both.
But yeah, from a rugby point of view it's a bit silly. The entire round robin is figuring out which established teams joined the 2 expansion teams in missing the playoffs

The playoff picture looks set in stone unless Tahs can upset Landers (which they won't).

I would correct that to:
The entire round robin is figuring out the order of all the established teams, with all 4 expansion teams getting some experience, but not invited to playoffs

now I feel dumb.
Moana Pacifica and Drua were expansion. (edit: and the ones I was thinking about)
Force were kinda expansion, but existed before the end of last year.
Who's the fourth? -

Who's the fourth?I still consider Moana Macifica, Drua, Force, Rebels - all expansion teams.
Sure - some of them were an earlier expansion - but it's a pretty clearly defined line between "OG teams" and "expansion teams" when it comes to the playoff line. -

Yeah - I guess my personal cut-off point is Super 12, professionalism...
But if one wanted to, one could argue going back as far as Super 6... or even earlier -

They were an original Super 12 team so wouldn't be considered expansion?

Very interesting article, I'll put it here as it applies to the shite ruck work being done in SR. I wish I could remember where, it could have been squidge, but he had the stats of ruck time in 6N - it was an amazing jump (well drop). From under 3 secs being the gold standard, to well under 2. Forwards setting themselves up for lightning quick cleans well before the tackle, France and Irealnd do it so well.

Common sense required as rugby wrestles with its status as a collision sport
Rugby appears caught in a paradoxical universe of wanting to place paramount importance on player safety - and being seemingly incapable of adopting common sense when ruling on accidental collisions -- Liam Napier writes.
