[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 979993, member: 39190"] If these players make good on their potential and come back to us good, if they play for other national sides, fine. All SA rugby can do is to do what they can to strengthen our domestic sides and get the 'glamor' back, make the youth WANT to play for our provincial teams. More and more I wonder if we shouldn't ditch Super Rugby in favor of a proper Curry Cup tournament. The Rand also needs to strengthen but that SARU has absolute zero control over. My hope is that with the success of the Bokke and the amount of non-white stars we have in there that the black market will get in behind SARU more and more. That and we need to get rid of the unions. Streamline and centralize rugby. That might be good for NZ and Aus as well. They've been banding about a trans-Tasman comp for aeons. We could always then have the winners play each in one off exhibition matches or set up a Heineken Cup style tournament to supplant Super rugby; less teams, quality vs quality and a knock out setup. Japan have their own domestic league and Argentina could go along with the other countries in the Americas and set up something. [/QUOTE]
