[QUOTE="SupportingOwnBodyWeight, post: 1090512, member: 85917"] I hear you, some competition for qualification never hurt anyone. I think the decision to have the Cheetahs play in Europe instead of the Griquas/Pumas is due mainly to the 2 following reasons. Firstly, the Cheetahs are regarded as a "Franchise team" that competed in franchise-level rugby (Super Rugby) and the Griquas & Pumas aren't franchise, rather just domestic/provincial. I'm sure you understand the difference. Secondly, SARU voted on the matter just before confirming SA's partnership with PRO Rugby. see link [URL]https://thestormers.com/saru-members-vote-to-seek-northern-hemisphere-future/[/URL] . Meaning that SARU had effectively promised the Cheetahs another top international franchise-level rugby competition. [/QUOTE]
