[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1090471, member: 45773"] The Cheetahs have been dominating the Currie Cup this season. Almost went unbeaten for the whole league stage of the Currie Cup, then lost a freak match against the Pumas. Ruan Pienaar and Francois Steyn have been brilliant leaders for the team of youngsters, I think the lack of an Internasional League running alongside The challenge cup for the Cheetahs, like the other SA squads have to contend with in terms of their squad depth with the URC will benefit the Cheetahs, they can keep a small squad and essentially become a Cup-style team, the number of matches will be perfect for guys like Steyn who wants to perform but is also in contention to make his fourth World Cup, and very likely to be picked by Boks, Ruans Career will be extended. They might even be able to sign some players from weaker SA teams, and returning Veterans in the mould of Jannie and Bismarck du Plessis. The youth conveyor belt has never been a problem for them. I know you think the real problem is that they skipped other clubs in Europe that should have been granted the first chance at qualification due to being in official European leagues, and should get preference if there was to be an expansion. This is understandable. [/QUOTE]
