[QUOTE="welshglory, post: 808937, member: 38673"] Ah right i see. Like i said though at youth level i think it's fair enough because you want to have an even spread of talent. Especially in a system like in SA and the SH where the provincial unions are linked to the National Union unlike the private clubs in England and France for example. It's an interesting topic youth contracting because unlike soccer, rugby players don't tend to be ready for pro level until over the age of 19 and thus don't even receive academy/development contracts until then. So youth transfer fees are pretty mute. Also in rugby the academy systems tend to be heavily linked with National Unions, through funding and licensing etc... So there is technically nothing owed to the developing teams, whilst in soccer they are primarily private projects who have nurtured the players. Yeah Eddie Jones is a prime example why they should be looking at bringing it in for player contracts. Perhaps to start off part centrally contracting the best youth prospects to SARU with long contracts and transfer fees. [/QUOTE]
