Some valid points in his article. People back in nz are blind if they think nothing is wrong with the S14 and Tri Nations (timing of the season, repetitive nature etc). Although some of the ELVs accommodate common sense, the collapsing of the maul and introduction of the free kick at the breakdown have seen our game replace substance with style. We can slate Moffett as much as we want but I would suggest he has more credentials than most and is likely to have one or two sensible ideas.

David Muppet must have leeks growing out of his ears if he thinks Tew is invisible - try picking up a paper or listening to a radio while you're taking your bitter pills and shoulder chips idiot

Why don't they just play the NPC first then have an 8 team knock out stage and call them the NPC Champions but the top 6 teams go through to a SUPER 20 Rugby competition (player draft could happen to strengthen teams that go through and reward good players). 5 from Australia, 6 from SA, 2 from Argentina, 1 from Japan & 6 NZ teams. Short Knock out tournament just like the World Cup format? I'd love to see Hawke's Bay Magpies win something like that, gee that would be interesting, but I don't think that would fly because of money.

Yawn. Who is more crap - him or Stephen Jones. What is wrong with the S14 - nothing! other than the schedule needs some tuning. What is wrong with the Currie Cup - nothing! What is wrong with the Air NZ cup - really it is just 'club' footy and a feeder to S14, like Jersey Flegg is to the NRL. Letting Argentina players into our S14 teams is a good idea and maybe the 15th Super team if it ever happens - what about on the Gold Coast at Titans new stadium. Big'ish Kiwi, Jap population on the GC and am sure Argy players would prefer Broadbeach to St Kilda or Sumner or St Clair - brrrrr.

#5, #6, #7, #9

So you think NZ should ditch the NPC for a Super 15?

You think they should ditch South Africa for a competitive Island team with a massive TV base(not) or a lucrative, competitive(not) Japanese team? Do you think Sky will still want to pay for that? Do you think that the NZRU will be able to afford to keep their ABs if they can't get TV deals? You think the player exodus is bad now?

Why have NZ and SA been the best performing sides in World rugby? A. The sport being the most played in the country i.e. getting the most funds(changing in SA now) B. A strong, competitive domestic competition with HISTORY to keep fans interested. There is a reason why the Football premiership in England rarely changes, and that is the rivalries built by History. Bring back AUckland Canterbury games with all their All Blacks, not a team from the top half of the South Island(who never play outside CHCH) against a team from the top of th North Island*who never play outside of Auckland).

Rugby has and always should be a game for all sizes, and for anyone. The beauty has always been that a 120kg prop can play in a team with 90kg wing, and they both still have important roles. If that is such a bad thing maybe you should have a long look at what you think rugby is - you might just find rugby league is what you have been after.

Well there is no doubt that the Super 14 is lacking in peoples interest, I for one think S.A. are on the right track with keeping the currie cup high on the list. The super 14 is in need of a revamp but not at the expense of the Currie cup or NPC. I much prefer to watch the S.A. teams playing than I do the Auzzie teams.

Start up a new comp with a conference system where teams play in separate groups divided up by the winners of the pervious year in one group the runners up in another group split the teams so they are spread evenly according to where they placed in the pervious years comp. Have a few "out of the hat draws" but not so every team plays each other. The top teams from each group the go into a play off with each other, A bit like how the world cup plays out. A few more teams could be added and the comp would only run for the same length of time or less than it is now. Put a lot of focus into the NPC again.

E.G. Group A; 1 Chiefs, 2 Bulls, 3 Blues, 4 Brumbies, 5 Force, 6 Lions, 7 Reds Group B; 1 Sharks, 2 Hurricanes, 3 Waratahs, 4 Crusaders, 5 Highlanders, 6 Stormers, 7 Cheetahs

The Top 4 from each group move into a play off,

G/A 1 V G/B 3 G/B 1 V G/A 3 G/A 2 V G/B 4 G/B 2 V G/A 4 ETC The Bottom 6 could play off to sort out ranking for the next years comp. Just a thought......

Another one pandering to his northern paymasters.

Cant argue with that. " authentic and stable competitions for their fans to watch" How stable is the future of the super14 ? Trinations ?

David Moffett is an idiot,enough said.

This piece reeks of xenophobia. Still, David, I suppose you have to write whatever you feel will tap into the basest minds of the tabloid readers.
