English Football suffers terribly in this. take my team (and Leg Break's), Tottenham. Compare this to this
Makes me want to cry.

Do they have debates about speedo design on Aussie Rules forums?

the other thing is that this is our community, and we can exclude if we want to.
chuck, piss off, you dirty, dirty troll
This is more fun than an after-school get together in Flaxmere…

for example, i can't see this issue resulting in the establishment of a new political party, or a multi-k signature petition.
True; although the people setting up the new party or signing the petition or even bombarding talkback radio were not likely to be Labour party voters in the first place.
The thing about this issue is that it so contradicts everything Labour and Clark have stood for over the last 8 years.

Hadyn (and I spelt your name right this time),
What I meant was how you’d approach games played by a NZ franchise that’s not your own.
The Hurricanes are my team; I cheer for them. I cheer for anyone playing against the Crusaders. That part is easy.
But it’s the other 3 that I’ve got problems. Part of me wants to see the Chiefs, say, lose. But then you think “I should be cheering on the team with the NZ players against that team half-full of Wallabies.
But in a true franchise system I wouldn’t have to worry about such faux patriotism.
-
What such a system would mean is the NZers would be more likely to cheer on the team playing against another NZ franchise.
At the moment, I only do that for teams playing against the Crusaders, but if there was no NZ only aspect to the other teams I'd gladly cheer against them :)

The main reason it’ll be good for Aussie is that it would give them a professional tournament of the same length as the NRL and AFL, with associated increase in exposure, following and of course $$$.
Such a competition would have the side-effect of further weakening the NZ NPC, and no-one would realise that more than O’Neill.
And I’m sure Overlord O’Neill has a 5th Aussie team in his master plan too.
There are some many adjectives that can describe OO, but stupid is not one of them.
-
What O’Neill is suggesting here is a very good idea.
For Australian rugby.

That 11-9 win by Auckland over Counties gave new meaning to the term “Ranfurly Shield All Black”.
Tim Twigden, possibly the slowest and lest talented All Black winger of all time, scored the match-winning try in the dying minutes and was rewarded with an All Black trip.
Subsequent “Ranfurly Shield All Blacks” include Bernie MacCahill, Sam Broomhall and Ben Blair.
-
But its been all downhill, pretty much, for Counties since then.
Oh I don’t know. Someone at NZRU obviously likes Counties.
Well, more than Northland anyway…
