[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 442122, member: 64443"] Thought there would plenty of media coverage (obviously not TV though) of Cape rugby in the relevant newspapers? The Mercuary in Durbs at times has more on the club scene than the Sharks, a few games where crowds reach a few hundred or so, just a pity that College Rovers and Collegians dominate everyone with most of the non-selected Sharks players, even then the one humped the other by 38+ points the weekend past. But yeah, there needs to be a pyramidal structure where a team can rise from the bottom to the top flight, not CC level necessarily, but if there were 2-3 national divisions for both unions and clubs (invariably we would see unions calling up well performing club players), followed by several divisions of regional/ provincial leagues, so that clubs can have something to aspire to other than a shot at the national club champs. Thus they can rope in suppliers, have something to entice more fans with, etc... Interestingly enough, SA and Scotland have very similar problems in this regard. [/QUOTE]
