Writing in the New Zealand Herald, Richard Loe argues that it is time to open up Super Rugby to overseas players.
"There is an opportunity to build on this now. They must change the eligibility rules and go the whole hog in taking the franchises away from their provincial union roots. That means allowing players from anywhere to play for franchises in other countries - but no more than five or six from other nations.
This is necessary for two reasons - Super rugby needs to find new appeal and, secondly, I don't think New Zealand and Australia can sustain things long-term on the current basis."
