Also, it's also better now from an SA perspective if a player plays for a different Pro 14 team not in SA since it's easier to keep track of how they are doing form wise. It's also yet to be seen whether they would treat those players at other pro 14 teams as players of a domestic league, although I think it's highly unlikely.Also in the past Japan hasn't been the largest issue, in some ways it's been a supplementary income for our players who returned at the start of Super Rugby, but some did stay full time.</blockquote>
