WOAHHHH

this gud news really...i really think some nz players should really look at australian and sth.a teams and really take advantage of that ruling

its like 3 foreigners per team aye?....

so if it is money based id reckon kiwis should look to aussie and sth africa instead of the north so they still can be under the watchful eye of the ab selectors and also enjoy a refreshing start to footy closer to home

good find e'soldier

not sure chiro mate on what the rules are but nz teams are generally limited to 2 -3 overseas player as the super 12 is for the all blacks and the nzrfu wants as many nz players in the team as possible. Also chiro if a nz player goes overseas is good bye to all black dreams they won't be selected. Is interesting though maybe this will be the new trend for the older players they will go to other super 14 countries instead of the north.

that just sux...guys like reihana are carving up in the north and there experience especially against northern international teams is valuable and will rub off in the nz ab camp

nzrfu are so stupid and greedy....its not our fault younger players blossom and push them over seas....

id have reihana and spencer back anytime..we got a lotta talent i know..

but them being there and playing against players from all european teams is very valuable and wud help the abs grow

so stupid

The only problem I have is the Sharks aren't producing enough home grown Natal talent.
