[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 354223, member: 42683"] Well, The Currie Cup will start in july, the Super 15 will end in august. It will only be a handful of matches of which the first teams cannot play. Griquas will miss only a couple of players to the Vodacom Cheetahs so for them it might be a big, big advantage. Will this mean a shift in powers? Will the Griquas finally make it to the play-offs again? What worries me is the years to come. Next year there won't be any June Tests because of the World Cup but what about 2012 onwards? Test rugby in the middle of a Super15 competition? How will that work? Will that affect teams the way it has done Currie Cup and ITM Cup rugby in the past? That would mean that the decisive phase of Super15 Rugby (towards the play-offs) will be played without the players included in the national squads. [/QUOTE]
