[QUOTE="unrated, post: 901741, member: 45773"] Now that SANZAAR has publicly responded to this report and categorically denied it, it is up to Wales Online to prove their credibility. SANZAAR is basically calling them liars. As SANZAAR is the official source and the one that should be trusted by default, the impetus now lies with Wales online to come to the fore and present what ever evidence they have to support their claim and counter SANZAAR. Generally SA media such as Supersport will be one of the first to report on matters such as these as they own the media rights for Super rugby here and any move to the pro 14 will have to go through them. Their inhouse journalists will most likely make any press release on the matter once a decision is taken. There is ofcourse the possibility that a decision was actually taken but that due to a strategic decision they decided not to make any announcements. The only way The big four SA sides could be tempted to join the Pro 14 is if huge financial incentives are promised, its essentially a decision between sporting and financial reasons when comparing the pros of Super rugby vs the Pro 14.
