[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 853726, member: 40658"] It's not about the Cheetahs not being deemed good enough, which IMHO they are. But 2 SA teams have to be cut, and between the 6 SA teams, the Cheetahs and the Kings are the obvious choices: [LIST] [*]They were the last 2 SA teams to be added to the Super Rugby Roster [*]They haven't made a playoff in Super Rugby yet [*]They have the least amount of attendances at their stadiums [*]They are financially in a worse position than the other SA teams [/LIST] But you also need to remember, that the Cheetahs are the current Currie Cup champions. And perhaps with a move to play against NH teams, they might have a chance at winning some more trophies. But with all this said, the Cheetahs have denied that they have been invited to join the PRO12: [URL]http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/SuperRugby/cheetahs-deny-official-invite-to-join-pro12-20170601[/URL] [/QUOTE]
