[QUOTE="Car, post: 1008163, member: 72474"] Actually, when we still were a second tier nation, we had several German Saffas in our national team, I think they were by far the biggest group of all the players being eligible for us based on ancestry. I'm not sure at all if we still have any now that we're a tier three country only, the squad changed completely. Obviously there's no large-scale emigration from here to South Africa, but e.g. the daughter of a friend of my mother's spent a gap year in Cape Town, married a black (/coloured ?) guy and is living there. I know two other Germans who lived in Cape Town for some time. Some years ago, we started getting regular coverage of rugby. First on TV, then through streaming services (DAZN, Rugby Pass). But I'm not sure which stadiums could be used that aren't too big, but that fulfil the requirements. We had that discussion in a German forum a few years ago when things still looked better here and we wondered if we'd be able to host some WC matches. [/QUOTE]
