[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 979314, member: 40658"] Well as discussed in another thread, just because they are going to France, doesn't mean they will ever play for France unless they get a French passport. So I think it's a bit too early to say if they will be a loss for SA rugby completely. It's unfortunate that the guys who are going, are the ones who seem to be potential springboks, but then again, they can still be called up for the Springboks. And maybe, just maybe, because we are World Cup champions now, and because a lot of the players that were part of the World Cup squad, are now leaving to play abroad, this might prevent other potential players with a bigger chance of getting into the franchise teams for SR. But with that said, it was just 18 players. and in the bigger scope of things, that's not that many IMO. I would have been worried if it was more like 50. I guess the worrying factor is that the guys who are leaving, are the guys of a high pedigree, but still need to prove their worth at senior level. [/QUOTE]
