JRFU knocked the ball on but with open check book next season they should be able to get some victories next year. Singapore venue makes no sense for Japanese franchise. Drop it and try and make the trip to Japan as hard as possible for incoming teams. How about playing some games at Hanazono just to move it up a bit? JRFU seriously needs a new CEO if they want to remain a force in professional rugby.

The original Super 12 best reflected the playing depths of NZ, South Africa and Australia. Expansion teams have diluted the talent pool, making it easier for NZ sides to dominate.
