[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 910053, member: 40658"] I have a question for our administrators. And this is maybe not just in Rugby, but also in Cricket. Why do we host teams in stadiums at times of the year where the conditions will suit the opposition better than us? For example, Why host a match in Cape Town in the middle of winter, when we all know that the Cape is the only Winter Rainfall province in the country. Why host a game against a NH opposition in Cape Town when it's a damn near guarantee that it'll rain? Same with Durban during the Summer in cricket season. I get that we need to spread the attendance with regard to venues and matches in SA. But surely we could have traded a venue for this last game for a game during the RC at perhaps Durban or PE?
