Super 15 Rugby, the world’s highest level of pro rugby.

Shows how much the Yanks know about rugby! You can just see Leinster, Leicester or Clermont Auvergne losing to the Lions by 69-17 (Western Force) or 35-0 (Rebels).

Yes, I can actually, were Clermont-Auvergne, Leicester or Leinster to field an entirely "B" side, not only without their Test players, but leaving out their remaining front line players as well.

And you forget, that a Brumbies "B" side actually beat the Lions 14-12


Additionally,

► You'll find that Super Rugby involves players, the vast majority of whom are from the top three ranked International sides in the world.

► You'll find there are a lot of players in the European competitions, who also come from those three countries!! They develop their skills in Super Rugby, then go over to Europe and ply their trade on easy street, displacing locals from European professional teams. :biggrin:

Exactly. Glad you agree seeing that you compare the Top Heineken teams to teams who ends at the bottom of the Super Rugby table.
