DURBAN - A South African version of New Zealand’s Super Rugby Aotearoa and Super Rugby AU in Australia is the latest plan on the table for a return to rugby in SA, with a single round Currie Cup to follow.
The shift of focus from the original plan of one big, powerful Currie Cup is apparently because of pressure from broadcasters and sponsors for there to be a Sanzaar-run approximation of Super Rugby. A team like the Lions, for example, reportedly need to play Super Rugby to fulfil their contractual obligations to title sponsors Emirates.“But I must stress to the public that there is no clarity or confirmation just yet.
Everitt was speaking from Kings Park on a day when SA’s players at last returned to training, albeit under restrictions.
