For the past two nights I've sat back in awe of two Kiwi Super Rugby sides.

The Hurricanes put 42 points on the Brumbies in one half of footy last night.

I've jumped on the Canes bandwagon big time. No one can keep pace with them as long as their key players stay fit and healthy.

Then comes the Crusaders - 36 points against the Stormers in one of the most staggering and ridiculous halves of footy.

So, while I was writing my match notes, I moved onto ideas on how to make this competition a much better contest:

Here goes:

1) Reduce the points for Kiwi tries.

2) Every time a New Zealand side scores more than three tries in one half, a player must come off for the rest of the match.

3) Limit the matches anyone with the name Barrett can play across the season. Maybe even put the Barretts into a Super Rugby draft, therefore allowing foreign sides to experience the pure joy of watching the Barretta run amok.

4) Limit the number of All Blacks allowed on the field at any one time for Kiwi franchises.

5) Ban Kiwi forwards from playing with the skill set of a back. Therefore, Cody Taylor's flick pass last night to Kieran Read for that wonderful try would be penalised.

6) Finally, this is a rule I take out of the America's Cup protocols. Kiwi sides may only hold two training sessions per week. Any other squad gathering will be considered a breach of Super Rugby rules and result in a loss of competition points. 

I'm sure I've missed some other key changes. Help me out!

 Ha ha. Yup something has to be done to stop the kiwis as their dominance is not good for business. Do any of you have any ideas?
We could institute the rule that for every try scored one player from the kiwi team should switch and play for the opposition.
Some might say get rid of bent refs but that would take the fun out of it

 Actually, there is one quick, simple means: insulating NZ.

NZ rugby can not sustain itself.

Other nations will also be better if they avoid playing NZ. This will allow them to build themselves to raise their play level.

One best way to reset the competition.

Don't hold your breath because as long as NZ continues to play rugby as it should be played they will always be tops.
Sad comment from a Springbok supporter but sometimes u have to man up to the truth and face the facts that they are without question deserving of the #1 rating in world rugby and S18 by the looks of current performances.
Who else can take them on other than Plum's JHB Lions?

Eliminate bent down under refs. This would make a big difference.
Then insist on the merit principle in SA. 
Sort out the many problems effecting SA rugby. The only one that is difficult to solve is the player drain to the parasitic NH given our weak Rand. Here however much more could be done to find sponsors but first the rugby house needs to be set in order.
Its ridiculous the ballerina pap kbbs should be number 1. Boks of old must be turning in their graves as they mastered these blowhard kiwis. Boks were num ber one for the period up to isolation.
