[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 999672, member: 40658"] It might be our only option for 2021. They are calling it the crossover year, where all the SANZAAR members can experiment on other Super Rugby type models before they sign new agreements. It's still early days though, but should we have an extended timeframe of this pandemic in the country, The possibility is there that our teams might not be able to travel abroad and we will have to have a locally based type tournament like the Currie Cup. With the added incentive that the top team(s) might go on to play in some sort of play-off tournament against Australia and NZ at a later stage. I think that's why SARU is so reluctant to give out any clear answers. They are looking at every avenue available to them, to see what will be the best way forward, since other teams and this pandemic have limited our options, or soured the relationship & jumped the gun. The criteria Jurie Roux mentioned though was, Financially sound and the Quality of rugby we play, and against which opponent, and that's why we are stuck in this catch-22 situation between NH and SH. There is no other country in the world of rugby with this unique predicament. [/QUOTE]
