so that leads me to an idea i had during this drunken, stoned and tired conversation, the idea of a lifetime, and idea to harness the raw economic prowess of asia and hord the money for australia!!!!!!
the super 14 is set to expand next year to include a fifth australian team, but with the current credit crisis these plans might be at the wrong time, what better way to use this opportunity than for australia to give the franchise to asia!!!
while i would prefer the team went to honk kong so tourists could stay at asian disney land, Japan seems to be the front runner to get a side and with there international team building and interest already int he country it seems like a fair call. why should we give them the side? its simple, if we place our team in japan, we can have a half japanese half aussie side, this means that we can send a few veterans and some up and comers to japan to team with locals, this gives japan an opportunity to learn and be more competitive as they gradually fill an entire team roster and also gives them knowledge not to employ eddie jones. it gives australia the chance to blood new players without experiancing the player drain that the force created by not having any local players.
if the super rugby series is to be expanded again in a few years time, japan could then take control of this franchise completely and australia could attain a fifth team leaving a gradual and easy transition to filling the team when the time is right!
could work, might not,
but lets just hope someone does something to actually create a new team rather than steal with dirty money and prostitute players like whores around the country!
god speed little munchkins.
jesus out!
