[QUOTE="gaston le gaff, post: 817491, member: 61265"] For me the players come of their own free will, and neither Jake or anyone else is poaching or exploiting anyone, and whats more it is not Jake or others who negociate their salaries,the Presidents are the ones who have the final say, they are obviously helped and advised by their coaches but that is normal, if you got your own house in order maybe there would less impact on your National team. Yes of course they earn more money in France and maybe yes they set themselves up for life but that has a lot to do with the value of the Rand and no one can blame France or their rugby clubs for that, it's SA's problem not ours, in France they are nowhere near millionaires living in France. Average salary 15,000/20,000 Euros per month then deduct car, house, living costs and tax +40% and social charges, in France of course you are earning good money but not rolling in it, you only become wealthy on your return to SA. When i hear players saying they could well stay and have a career with the French National team as well as their club i can understand their choices by turning their backs on their own countries. We have 2 in Montpellier who could well go down that road. [/QUOTE]
