[QUOTE="saulan, post: 793685, member: 60236"] They literally just did this now:D. They have a weird qualification tournament happening now with all 14 provincial/regional teams and a Namibian team with three teams qualifying from that and the 6 super rugby teams making the numbers. The proper tournament will be nine teams. Each team will play each other once, instead of home and away. It will be interesting to see how it is received here because fans were quite keen on the past format and there are concerns that it will now be watered down. I don't think it needs much more added to financing though, I don't think its an issue for us. We have good attendance for the currie cup (about the same as the Aviva Premiership) and has a good viewership as well. As for South Africa leaving Super Rugby, it will never happen. The tournament needs our money and SA Aus and NZ value playing each other. Plus the potential logistics and issues with trying to join up with a Northern league at this point where we have a good thing going doesn't make sense. [/QUOTE]
