1382721 2014-08-28 19:17:00 Just had a thought - the so-called SANZAR Rugby Championships are gonna have to change their name! I mean, SANZAR is made up of the three original nation's first letters, ie South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Now what are they going to call it seeing as Argentina wannabes have been allowed to join? I have to wonder who's gonna pay for all that wasted marketing etc since the Argies have joined? Argentina themselves? I don't think so. It's gonna come from yours and my wallets. Grr

I mean really - who the eff was so short-sighted not to have considered this eventuality? Some effing marketing piece of crappola. Even their website still has the old tri-nations logo.

Bugger me George!

And what's going to happen when this money induced wrangling decides to let the likes of Samoa, Tonga and Fiji join into the spin? I doubt that their unions can afford to pay off whoever's coining it.

Bad words really come to mind. :-(

How would you be charged for something like that?

But neither if those will affect you if you don't watch or go to games.

And the ticket prices would be the same for all those games so your argument is irrelevant

The government doesn't have anything to do with SANZAR
