[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1032572, member: 45773"] Rainbow Cup: Which SA side runs into luminary Leinster first? [URL]https://www.news24.com/sport/rugby/pro14/rainbow-cup-which-sa-side-runs-into-luminary-leinster-first-20210403[/URL] All the South african sides are really excited to measure themselves against Leinster in Ireland, as it would give us the first indication of what the Pro 14 is really about. We will know after the first game what the best standard of the pro 14 is . the rainbow cup hopefully will provide this foretaste. It wont be about the result. But that novelty value to measure the true strengh of cross hemisphere competition will be great as this will be the first competitive cross hemisphere club/ franchise game in history. Not a friendly in other words. We will be able to see, how the famed Leinster would stack up against a Crusaders for example. In a very theoretical way. I cant wait for the Sharks meeting with Leinster or Munster. Also to play against some South Africans in the Munster or other teams . I hope we draw Leinster, and for now i think we will beat them. If they prove me wrong then i will be happy too because that would mean the standard is tops and we again have something to aim for in terms of standards, almost in the same way the Crusaders set the standard in Super Rugby. I would be highly ****** if Leinster plays a second string side against us. With all resoect to them, i think their period of dominance is coming to an end. May the best team win [/QUOTE]
