So the Crusaders
The Highlanders and the Blues are more recognizable than what Auckland, Canterbury, Wellington, that sort of thing.
The other thing too, I mean, heck, wouldn't it wouldn't it be interesting, Tony Johnson, if for the NPC the previous year they said top five teams get to host the spring box?
That would that would make it interesting now, wouldn't it?
That would really put the cat amongst the pigeons.
But in in all seriousness, I can't see them going anywhere.
Other than
The franchises Kaporopong and Mali.
My final thought, Tony, is that there's been a lot of discussion with regards to what's the gap between New Zealand and South African rugby at the moment.
And I think
On the field, I don't actually think the gap is as great as what the score line reflects.
I still believe that New Zealand has got wonderful rugby players.
I think they can be competitive at scrum time.
I think there was obviously an advantage that South Africa have.
The big difference right now
is that Rassi Erasmus has had that side.
And I know Jacques Nanaba was technically named as the coach for one of those cycles, but we all know it was Rassi driving it all.
This has been a program which is by the time it comes to the World Cup basically a decade in the making.
The All Blacks are on their third coach in four years.
And I was thinking about it, Tony, and I know you're a good historian.
