SYDNEY – Over the decade since the New South Wales Waratahs became the last Australian team to win the competition, Super Rugby has contracted dramatically both in geographical spread and size, from a high of 18 teams across four continents in 2017.
The 30th season of Super Rugby gets underway this weekend with just 11 teams playing in another new format but hopes that the green shoots of a revival in Australian rugby might bring a bit more of an edge to the competition.
