8 teams, traveling circus style to different US cities in a season, that's over 400 staff members that have to travel to different cities, this is going to be a logistic nightmare, where are the teams going to train, where are they living? HSBC 7s is already challenging with 7 destinations and the teams are smaller.
Off the bat with what we have at the moment. I'm not a fan. Ball sports like Rugby, Football, Cricket, whatever are not circuses, they are clubs and teams. You go to watch the team and support them. Changes are needed absolutely. Losing 3 Premiership teams, the scandals over at the WRU and the stagnation of club rugby in Europe is a shambles no doubt about it. However Americanising and following the footsteps of the Premier League and F1 with the sport is NOT the answer.

I want to say Rugby doesnt need it. Rugby has always been about the teams, not the individuals. Granted Rugby union has big superstars at the minute with Marcus Smith, Antoine Dupont, Finn Russell and Siya Kolisi all being as synonymous with their club sides as with their countries, but I think the point is spot on. Logistically Rugby is at the stage where its building up its characters, not where it can say it has 20 of them, let alone 184 (match day 23 x 8=184) with 10 million instagram followers (I hate to say it like that, but thats the kinds of metrics that will be followed). It would grow it too big too soon. And I just cant see it getting off the ground. Equally nor do I want to. I'm a season ticket holder for Harlequins and the Premiership as a competition has been so good over the last few years; even the English sides have competed in Europe better in the last few years to the extent where Quins only lost to Toulouse in Europe last year (twice against Toulouse). So I don't see the reason to change it right now, I'd be strongly opposed to this as I think it kills the sports values.
Because it’s where the English rugby league grand finals are played. But if this goes ahead, it won’t affect the English league much. Like how the premier league has most of the best footballers, Australian NRL has 90% of the best so…. The English won’t be affected by this much.
I’m fully against a super league in football but in rugby it isn’t a bad idea. The reason a super league is bad in football is that it ruins the football pyramid and closes off the lower tiers from success. However in rugby , only France has 2 proper pro leagues. The rest have one league (not even a full league in the case of Ireland Scotland wales Italy )
these 2 guys are sprouting the exact same drivel that was sprouted back when World Series Cricket broke away and more importantly Super League (Rugby League) had it's breakaway, and guess which organisation eventually came out on top in both sports. The breakaway league did. The original sporting organisations had to pull there heads out of the sand and agree to teh proposed changes and finance arrangements, and both sports are way better for it. The same will eventually happen with golf too, but not until both Norman & Monaghan are gone from their respective organisations.
@@mario18661 yes it does, because the NRL was the end result, especially as the ARL (Ken Arthurson & his cronies) which then controlled the game had to concede that Super League's changes to the game and player payments etc ware far superior to what they were implementing with their dinosaur attitudes, which meant the ARL lost that control and rather than continue with the name Super League the compromise name was NRL. In the England version of Super League they chose to continue calling it the Super league. The thing regardless of whether it's cricket or Rugby League both sports and players are now in a much better place than they were or would have been under the old regimes. The same will eventually happen with golf and Rugby Union definitely needs a shake up, especially at club level in Australia.
@ yeah but the ARL had been talking about those changes since the broncos entered the comp. League just has a culture of last minute saves and 11th hour deals that would keep the league somewhat running in place.
@@johnoxley1946 I don’t think losing 6 clubs and forcing others to merge makes the competition better it makes it less of a national competition we’ve only just now 28 years later starting to expand again into the region the ARL had already expanded into. The war was a pissing match between two billionaires sons to blood them. If union of through this it’s gunna break the code in England for sure.

Cities can handle 400 ppl coming to town brother
USA already has a Pro rugby Comp called the MLR and has a draft system.
Attendance are on the rise, but still small.
click bait headline
Sa and Nz wont be affected
You don’t think sa players based in Japan will consider this?
@@dabu8701 apparently this is rugby league unless my info is incorrect 😙

Do you follow cricket?
This is League not Union
@_warra_trophy_ I do but not majorly.
@@williamcarter3933 Are you sure? They were talking about premiership clubs in the video not super league.
@@KingEddo8 do you think James Anderson would get a bid in the auction?
Old Trafford at the centre of things as usual. The famous and glorious Manchester United. Hated, adored, never ignored.
the attention the club and the ground gets for a mid table team is utterly ridiculous.
Hated , adored , full of rain it has poured
ah.. thats the spirit buddy... we have to help the smalls clubs as much as possible to renovate their deteriating stadiums.

Fans would not necessarily support it. Look at the backlash to Super League in football.
I always thought that we were moving towards a Global Super Rugby tournament before the South African teams withdrew.
Okay, good report. But why is Old Trafford the display thumbnail? How is Man Utd in this? It’s not even the same sport.

They'll need more than 20 that's not even 2 teams!
Rugby Union is not NFL. Leave our game alone.
No,no,NO! They screwed up golf,please do not take rugby down that toilet.
Im surprised there no one has brought up any "human rights" concerns

Won't happen. Might last for a year or two but that's all.
Rugby Union has failed in the US and Canada. It's not going to work anytime soon. Maybe try again in the 2030s.
It won't last.

The super league war ended with NRL being born I don’t think that constitutes a victory for super league
