[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 385292, member: 64443"] I would say that it is considered appropriate to call it the 3rd tier as it lies (in terms of quality players) in between the Currie Cup and the 2nd Divison of the Currie Cup, with teams in the top division, like the Leopards and Pumas fielding the same players they would in the Currie Cup, and the presence of the second division Currie Cup teams And you probably would have noticed that it is used primarily for game time for the players in the S15 unions that need it, and when there are none youth players are played, which is also why I liked the advertising idea of calling it "The Blueprint of South African rugby" However as the Currie and Vodacom Cup are played at different times, I also find it strange that it is refered to 3rd tier, but it doesn't matter really But, yeah the Pampas XV are doing really well, and I am glad that they lie in the Southern Section so that the Sharks XV don't have to play them, and I think it would do a world of good if they played in the actual Currie Cup, possibly even the main division, however this would be unlikely (but, as we all know all too well, money rules sport, and the addition of an entire new market, even if the Pampas play their home games in SA, will be all to alluring for SuperSport) [/QUOTE]
