[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 737049, member: 39190"] I would of course go with the CC for the simple fact that I am South African. But currency/budgets isn't the only facor though; 1) as is the schedule hampers the CC as a 'top end' product in that our best (test) players would still remain unavaiable throughout the entire competition. 2) it is very much a South African development competition with the restrictions on overseas players and as such we inevitably hit the ceiling when we get to 100% of the SA public whereas the Top 14 has a very cosmopolitan dare I say exotic (?) feel and many nations could conceivably develop an affiity for a team for the simple fact that a countryman or two (or even 9 Saffas in the case of Montpellier) plays in it. This is precisely how I ae to support RM92.. that and the beutiful jersey and emblem. 3) for shear size (or rather lack thereof) the CC also gets penalized when put up next to all of the NH leagues as well as the ITM cup which has some cross over from the two tiers.
