[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 871435, member: 40658"] Of course it is a storm in a teacup. And I wasn't attacking the poster personally, or at least that wasn't my intention, I was actually trying to help the poster, and point out where he could improve when starting other threads. I do however feel that Cruz is still missing the point that I was trying to make, and instead is going on and on about Lawyering me and pointing back to the article in the times. Also, and I don't think it was intentional, but he mentions SARU rugby mag. Even though that magazine has no direct affiliation with SARU. It's a private media entity. I have been scouring through various media outlets, and still can't find anything. Maybe Bell Pottinger had something to do with this story being 'buried' in SA rugby circles? Or maybe the Lions and the Sharks hired the same PR company to handle their PR work and have done a great job to leave this out of the press. As for the blogged article Cruz was referring to, the writer of that blog referred to a hypothetical situation and quoted Mr. Verster: Other unions, no matter who they are, are allowed to look at joining other leagues, and along with SARU, they will compare the feasibility of such a move, weighing up the pro's and con's on staying or joining the other leagues. But again, that won't happen until after 2020. And nothing has been made final of what will happen after 2020. All this limited speculation is doing is driving even more disparity to the volatile situation. Yet, there was no mention about the statement from SARU of 3 days ago: [URL]http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/south-africa-committed-to-sanzaar-roux-20170901[/URL] [/QUOTE]
