[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 277820"] What the f*&% is Hoskins thinking? Sharing a franchise with the Aussies?! Crazy talk. That should never ever happen. Even though it would be super **** for South African pride, SARU are being clever here, in a business and depth building way. It's quite well known that the ARU and NZRU have been recruiting players recently after seeing them in the Craven Week. SA's player pool is huge compared to Oz and NZ. Living in both these countries is a huge draw for many South Africans, mostly due to discrimination from the government. Players are no different. So how do you counter this leak in player resources? Take over their god damn unions! Bwahahaha. Has a SAracens tune to it. It's crap logistically but the reality of the situation is that SA is lossing players due to the draws of living in a 1st world country. I'll say it again, crap logistically and heritage wise, but clever. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dale @ Sep 11 2009, 09:01 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=411251']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> :lol: [/QUOTE]
