[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 979328, member: 39190"] It could probably be argued that if these players make good on their potential and play for the Bokke then SA wins in a way BUT at the same time it is slowly eroding our domestic teams right up to SR level. There is something to be said for our best plying their trade in SR and forging combinations. Our SA SR teams struggle to compete right at the top because our teams don't have that spine of your 24 to 30 year old journeymen (at least not the ones in demand barring on odd exception here and tehre). Its a couple of Bok players, half the time being rested and with their focus elsewhere at times and the up and coming (but then going before they've actually 'arrived' as such). And these teams never get to settle. Fine for our test side maybe but frustrating for a passionate Stormers supporter. [/QUOTE]
