At least you have one to counter that.

Sharks will field their strongest team of the season. Etsebeth “I don’t think a top-eight finish in the URC is possible anymore, which is disappointing at this stage of the season already, but we’re looking to end strong. There’s always going to be pride to wear the Sharks jersey and to win games, a...

That’s why they are bringing back tours and more engagement with SA teams and not just the boks. I can’t see how SA teams could join super rugby, especially if the teams were weaker sides. I think the Cheetahs would be competitive. Possibly the Griquas, Pumas too. Not sure if there is a 4th team th...

What is the new comp for non-URC teams? I don't see how the URC sides (without their Boks) will be able to field strong teams for a Jul-Sept Currie Cup. I think the Jul-Sept window for CC makes the best sense overall but that means the bigger unions will be fielding development sides. SA Cup Sarugb...

Unfortunately the Currie Cup has become the "Vodacom Cup" of the current era. The days of strength vs strength are gone. Mostly the young players that are not often involved with the URC games will be the ones to do duty in the Currie Cup, so we will see the smaller unions taking the cup more often...

The CC will be much stronger but then all the franchises stock up players to make provision for an extra squad. The new tendency is to loan extra players between provinces like Boland and Bulls, Griquas and Stormers , Sharks and Pumas, Ospreys and Cheetahs. Unfortunately there are players totally ou...
