The ARU finally made an announcement and the Western Force are getting the boot from Super Rugby.
It is a dark day for Australian Rugby and the Force fans. Although they were never successful the team had managed to build Rugby Union support out of nothing and looked to finally be improving. I had thought the Rebels would be leaving since they were the worst team in the league and no one in Melbourne cares about Rugby however I can understand the decision as the Rebels have only been the league a few years and are in a much larger market.
The only thing that isn't controversial is that Super Rugby's expansion to 18 teams was a stupid short sighted decision.
