Honestly JW, I think 3 teams is 1 too many.
As I said elsewhere here, it would be easier in the Australian context to cut 4 teams than 1 or 2. A huge fight from Force and/or Brumbies.
Based on performance, Waratahs shouldn't be there, but based on where the majority of players and supporters are, Sydney must be a major centre.
Another, reason is that the brands are all scarred to some extent, particularly the Tahs.
The difficulty as you inferred is how to sell 2 new teams.
The main selling point would be for them to be cracking good, full of good players, and regularly win.
Getting names and identities is a challenge, but less so if the product is good.
The QWA Maroon Force could work,....but only if the team was any good.
Sydney-Canberra Capitals might work too...but only if the team was any good.
Ditto Sky Blue Brumbies.
Whatever it is, make no mistake, 80-90% of supporters, players, crowds are in Sydney and Brisbane
