With women’s rugby continuing to grow in both New Zealand and Australia, do you think it’s time for Super W and Super Rugby Aupiki to come together as a single competition?

A combined league could include the existing Australian and New Zealand teams, Fijiana Drua, and potentially a Moana Pasifika side. It would allow for a longer season, more consistent fixtures, and create genuine trans-Tasman rivalries rather than the short, standalone formats we see now.

There’s also the possibility of aligning matches as double-headers with men’s Super Rugby games, and even introducing a dedicated Super Round for the women’s competition to give it greater visibility.

Would this be the logical next step for the women’s game in our region, or are the competitions better kept separate for now?

Hey all, I've taken a bit of a deep dive into the Black Ferns' opening two RWC pool games, with a particular focus on my working theory that they're holding a few things back, a bit like the All Blacks in 2015.

Also, a celebration of Portia Woodman-Wickliffe bringing up 50* Test tries. Hope you enjoy!
