@Kiwiwomble It was clear from the start that McLennan's threats to leave the comp was just a load of hot air. Not surprised the comp will continue.
This is interesting:
The confirmation of the current Super Rugby Pacific format – with the eight-team finals format – will disappoint some fans and will be seen as a win for Australia, which has generally struggled with player depth.
However, Marinos said there would be rule changes in Super Rugby Pacific to make the game more appealing.
“RA and NZ Rugby are committed to the development of the most exciting form of rugby in the world, through trialling and implementing new rules, new ways of engaging fans and broadcast innovations with our partners,” he said in a statement.Hopefully, those rule changes do not include the same stupid "sin-bin power-play" rule that the RFU is proposing for the new Premiership and Championship Cup competition (or similar nonsense).
I really hope it is not what they are alluding to,What a stupid idea that is.

at very least you would hope this kind of certainty will make sponsors happy and easier to find as well as new broadcast deal

Good news.
I would think the new rules would be things like time off/time limits at scrumtime etc
That Im ok with, but I think most rules should fall in line with International rules as it looked liked we failed to adjust early in our AB campaign this year

Good lord. That's marketing creatives personified, completely detached from the sport. Far out

They could try reducing how long a team can be in possession and up the power play sin bin to two players. Also make a try worth one less point in the power play.
