Now with the vast increases in salaries, many New All Blacks are interested in trading in the jersey. Everyone has a price. Even Mccaw is apparently rumoured to be close to signing with Toulon.
Our "Super" 18 is a shambles, a quota tournament. Firstly caused by the Kings expanding the tournament, then by SA player drain, and now more Aussies and New Zealanders looking for big money.
This could push the best coaches and players to the Northern Hemisphere pushing up the standard while dropping in the Southern Hemisphere.
This could drop the test standard of all our teams. (The Boks with a decent coach could still be a useful team)
