The Western Sydney Rams have formally expressed an interest in becoming the 15th team in the expanded Super rugby competition from 2011.
Rams spokesman, former Wallaby Brett Papworth, says Western Sydney is the rugby heartland in Australia and it would be irresponsible not to make a bid to join the southern hemisphere’s largest provincial tournament.
Prospective ventures have until 5pm (AEST) Wednesday to lodge their interest to the Australian Rugby Union, and it's expected bids will also come from Melbourne, the Central Coast and the Gold Coast.
