Cape Town - A creative overhaul of the South African player contracting model will lead to improved use of resources, greater national and provincial alignment and improved succession planning at Springbok level, it was announced on Friday.The ground-breaking system was achieved through unprecedented co-operation between SA Rugby, the rugby employers and the players’ organisation .For the first time since rugby turned professional in 1996, SA Rugby will no longer directly contract Springboks.
- Semi-professional players who may only be contracted to play in the Currie Cup First Division and in the SuperSport Rugby Challenge; - Club players may be contracted as temporary replacements for injured professional and semi-professional players.- Super Rugby, PRO14 or Currie Cup Premier Division unions may not contract more than 45 professional players and have a salary bill greater than R60m or of more than R15m in the case of the Pumas and Griquas.
