[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 929029, member: 58362"] Indeed, but as you say, it's happening more (according to my perception), meaning that what OP says could hold water. I don't know if figures would support the South African exodus being on the increase, it has always seemed high to me, presumably thanks to South Africa being an APC state. My perception is that it's New Zealand's exodus that's on the increase, thanks to the perception of an established pecking order of those in line to a AB shirt and a stronger focus on World Cup cycles than any other nation. Kiwi zealots on these forums have told us that New Zealand's prodigious conveyor belt of talent means that this isn't a problem. We will see this theory tested over the next couple of World Cup cycles. [/QUOTE]
