Hey don't South Africa generate over 50% of the revenue for Sanzar ??? Maybe its time for our broadcasters to throw their toys out the cot too!!!!
Guys... The game is about players! not money

Byron, minor point to make, the key factor was the loss of R137M in revenue over the broadcast deal (or $20M AUD) by having the team in SA over Australia, this is after all, an economic venture by the three unions. Otherwise, a fair number of players will probably come from SA (for what its worth a good source told me that the ARU received 150 applications from SA within a few hours of announcing the allowing of 1 Marquee and 1 unsigned player in the S14 teams). Some players will come from Europe, the Pacific Islands, Japan, Argentina etc etc etc some will also return from the ranks of European club rygby (love to see Dan Vickerman back, Rodzilla and so on). But more will come from the heartland of Australian Rugby, the Sydney club competition. I know players personally in this competition that would be competitive at the S14 level of the game if given the chance.
There is my 50c worth (or should that be 5 rand?), the S14 will be better as S15 with an extra Australian team, not some transplanted SA team on the wrong continent with next to no local supporters.

While I have to agree that it makes more sense to base the team in Oz, two points worry me. First I read that the new franchise will try and attract foreign players, so am I being paranoid in assuming that the ARU will be trying to raid SA's player base? If they do we will surely withdraw from SANZAR. Second, Byron is quite right in pointing out that when it comes to these decisions the New Zealanders always side with the Australians, and vice versa. I would like anyone to give me an instance where one of these two nations agreed that SA was correct in a dispute. I don't think this is being paranoid, we just don't trust the two nations to be honest and fair where SA is involved.

Get over it Byron, it makes sense for the team that is to be in the Aussie conference to be based in Aussie.
Regarding weakening, there were 3 SA teams in the bottom 5 this year (as per usual), so how can you say SA is more deserving on that regard.
If you want europeans to be watching in greater numbers then the best option is to join the heineken cup. No thanks.
There is no NZ/AU conspiracy against you, you can sleep easy at night.

Well another poor desision! Who would have guessed that an all New Zealand would have panel would have voted for Australia. Their justification is laughable!
The report states that the Southern Kings were better prepared in all aspects relivant to running a franchise. More importantly they have a large established Rugby playing base - Hey the last time I looked you need players to play rugby!
The sole factor that they mentioned supposively in their favour was geographical location. How this is an advantage I don't know? Wait New Zealand players have to travel less??? The introduction of the force proved that Australia do not have the playing base to supply even the Western Force. As for Location, A south african destination would have provided better live TV coverage for Europe to Watch - Something that pays better than the 1000 or so extra OZ fans that are going to watch rugby now!
As for improving Australian Rugby, All existing Australian rugby unions will lose a couple of players weakening them further. Ozzies get used to playing another season of losing rugby!!!
