[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 672567, member: 63264"] The Pumas are planning an audacious bid to become one of the six South African Super Rugby franchises. BRENTON CHELIN reports. The side from Nelspruit have been one of the stories of the Currie Cup so far, but their tale doesn't stop there. With Super Rugby set for yet another expansion in 2016, the Pumas have made it known that they want a piece of the cake, whether they are invited to the party or not. 'There's no reason why a Super Rugby franchise can't work in Nelspruit. We've got the facilities and a new academy in the works. We don't want to continue to be a feeder union, our goals are higher than that.' 'If a union like Free State didn't have Super Rugby, would they be able to survive financially? They're able to attract sponsors and keep their best young players because of their involvement in the tournament. They have all the advantages that come with being a Super Rugby franchise.'
