[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 1003605, member: 13611"] I feel sorry for the Cheetahs as they added to the competition. The Southern Kings were a joke and won't be missed. This has the potential to be a game changer for the former Pro 14 in terms of revenue and bring them closer to the French and English leagues. Hopefully something can be negotiated with EPCR to expand the tournament permanently to 24 teams and get South African representation. Access to European markets can help South Africa grow its funding and may lead to more Springboks choosing to stay at home. More South African teams means fewer draining trips to Europe will be needed for their players. Teams based in the major population centres in South Africa means European teams have fewer flights than when they travelled to play Southern Kings and Cheetahs. This is a win-win for all parties in the new competition. [/QUOTE]
