[QUOTE="User1245, post: 364001, member: 40986"] From a SA point of view, yes the Currie Cup is being devalued. That is pretty much established. SARU however say that the CC is their main focus as it's their main source of income. I can't accept that reasoning with the new conference system for the S15 in mind. Nevertheless I'm not too phased that the CC is taking a backseat to be honest. Even without the current Springboks involved it is a strong and valued competition. Much stronger than the Vodacom Cup, which is the next tier domestically. I am however not keen with regards to the way the fixtures are done. I hope there is method in the madness. The old Super Rugby system has been called repetitive and boring although it was 'fair', and now it seems to have swung in the other extreme with multiple X-factors that could be 'unfair'. Not sure if it's add to the excitement or frustrate the fans more. I can't wait till February to see! Agreed. I personally stop Lions fans when I see them in town (which BTW is about as rare as seeing a real lion in the city) just to shake their hand. All done after I've sympathized with them first of course.. [/QUOTE]
