[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 983169, member: 40658"] This. But also the schools have an agreement with the provincial rugby union. The rugby union provides the schools with support and training and coaching. When a player turns 18/19 and wants to go pro, the local provincial union, has first rights to that player. They have a period of about 3 months to make agreements with the player before any other union can contact the player. And when that period lapses, the other unions still need to get permission first from the local union to contact the player. The local union can then still approach the player first, but if they don't want/need that player, the player can then go to other unions. The issue is that some areas have more top rugby schools than others, so those unions can't approach all the kids in their region. So they set up a drafting sheet, and look at each position and the areas where they have a great potential in that position, and then they inform the kids who might make the cut, then the kids who are overlooked also know that they have a chance with other unions. Bear in mind however, that this is only for the duration that the kid is still in school. After he matriculates, and wasn't approached, he can go to any union/club he wants to without going through the whole permission process. [/QUOTE]
