broadcast in 41 countries (2006 figure)

"Matches are now broadcast in 41 countries." Isn/t it time to cite a more recent reference, esp if using 'now'? wcrosbie (talk), Melbourne, Australia 07:21, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Changes to past winners tables (again)

Super 10 winners have found a way back onto the article, now that there is an official Super Rugby website that does not mention Super 10 results but only 1996 onwards as Super Rugby and hence why Super 10 has its own article, if there's no objection I'll remove them. --sss333 (talk) 04:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

SA teams'stadiums

There seem to be a few issues with the stadiums listed for SA teams.

I agree with the Bulls having Orlando Stadium listed, as they have hosted matches there. The Cheetahs have played at Free State Stadium, and Hoffe Park Stadium, but have not hosted a match at Peter Mokaba Stadium. They have however hosted a match at North West Stadium. The Lions have never hosted a match at FNB Stadium or Mbombela Stadium. The Sharks have not hosted a match at Moses Mabhida Stadium. The Stormers have played at Cape Town Stadium, but only as an away team, they have not hosted a match there.

I propose that changes be made to reflect this, unless someone presents a case which shows otherwise Crazydude22 (talk) 10:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Overuse of National flags

Why do we need to have the national flag of each team on each and every list in this article? It seems like total overkill. The "Current Franchise" list clearly details where each franchise is from so why does the flag need to precede each team on each list? I propose to delete all national flags with the exception of the "Current franchise" list as they are not necessary. Any issues? Anderch (talk) 03:29, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

I think that it is useful at times having those flags. For example, you can quickly look at the "Champions" section and see that South African teams won the competition three times. So I think there's some benefit there. But there's no point in having flags in the "Conference Winners" section, since each column represents a different country, so all flags would be the same.

Table ranking on tied points

The article does not say how teams are ranked when they are tied on points. This is taken from the superxv.com site:

In the event of two or more teams being equal on competition points for any position on either the Conference or Super Rugby Standings tables, either during or at the end of the season, such position will be decided upon using the following steps until the tie is broken:
(a) Most wins from all matches;
(b) Highest aggregate points difference from all matches;
(c) Most tries from all matches;
(d) Highest aggregate difference of total tries for versus tries scored against from all matches;
(e) Coin toss.

The following table is taken from the this site after the games played on 4 April 2014.

	Team	P	W	L	D	B	PF	PA	PD	Bp	Ttl
4	Lions	6	4	2	0	0	157	148	9	0	16
5	Waratahs	5	3	2	0	0	140	94	46	4	16
6	Bulls	6	3	2	1	0	145	138	7	2	16
7	Blues	7	3	4	0	0	193	198	-5	4	16
