[QUOTE="saulan, post: 780257, member: 60236"] Honestly, I think the goal of this is an attempt to make South African rugby players play a running rugby type of game like New Zealand so that it is established by the time they get into Currie Cup or Super Rugby. The thing is, these attempts at Varsity Cup level have largely been successful, with Varsity Cup really turning into a running rugby tournament. The problem is that the targeting is wrong. A lot of rugby players in schools and in the varsities love watching running rugby and want to play that type of rugby, it's just that it gets coached out of them as soon as they make it into the more professional teams. Coaching clinics and SARU sharing an overall plan with the provincial coaches and getting buy-in from them is where a large impact would be made on our game style. [/QUOTE]
