handling of the Super Rugby<br />
competition has come as no<br />
surprise but hopes the “faceless<br />
men in suits” at SANZAAR learn<br />
from the debacle.<br />

by constant speculation over<br />
the future of one Australian<br />
franchise, as the governing body<br />
weighed up ways to fix the ailing<br />
competition.<br />

As round nine of Super Rugby<br />
approaches, the two under-threat<br />
Australian teams are yet to learn<br />
their fate.<br />
“It’s disappointing it’s taken<br />

said Super Rugby’s governing<br />
