[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 848002, member: 40658"] The thing is that NZ and Aussie teams will only have to play 2 games in SA or 1 game in SA and 1 in Argentina. Again they will only have a short tour while the SA teams and the Jaguares will have a gruelling 4/5-week tour. And if the Force gets the cut, then there is not stopover at Perth, meaning the teams will either have to fly directly to Japan or the Eastern part of Australia or NZ. I think our conference is again getting the short end of the stick here. As for the Cheetahs. I agree with you. But I wonder if we will get some sort of amalgamation like we had when the Cheetahs and the Lions were together and called the Cats. I'm hoping that SARU introduce the draft system which has been mentioned by a few people is the SA Rugby fraternity if we are only going to be 4 teams. If we use the Currie Cup Model, then there is the Griquas and Cheetahs region that will be up for grabs. And I'm sure we all don't want a situation where players are then lured to a certain franchise for more money. Even though we all know the Sharks have first choice when it comes to Cheetahs players:p [/QUOTE]
