[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 849030, member: 40658"] Hold on, are you talking about competitions or matches? Because there is a massive difference. The other SH competitions are the Currie Cup, the Mitre 10 cup and the Australian league, and I guess you can add the Japanese league as well. But they are local tournaments/competitions, where you only play against teams in your own country. There isn't another league where the teams of Griquas in South Africa will play against North Harbour from New Zealand. Just wat to make sure you understand? Teams that financially run out of money can't fend for themselves... They don't have the money for it. That is the essential problem. When a team goes under liquidation, it always happens that a new investor comes in and does a financial takeover. And usually those guys have enough fingers in other pies, to ensure the survival of the team/franchise/union. Take the Kings as prime example. They went under liquidation, and then there were talks that a bigshot American company wanted to buy them, but with many conditions added to the scheme, which SARU couldn't agree on, so SARU had no other choice but to take over the administration of the Kings, and pay the players and staff salaries.
