[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 957333, member: 40658"] They were scouted at the Craven Week. The unions in SA didn’t necessarily offer them contracts because their home union where their school is situated has first choice and they have a certain period within to offer contracts before the other unions may approach the kid directly. If the other unions maybe want to jump the gun, they can contact the home union first and ask to “buy out” the player. And the home union can then agree or not. But overseas clubs don’t apply to these rules and can basically jump through a few hoops faster than the local unions. It happens very rarely that these schoolboys play SA U/20 while still in school, and will only feature the next year. [/QUOTE]
