South African rugby viewers make more than Aus and New Zealands viewers put together. Why not just say fine screw you guys we´re going to Europe. Time difference, easier travel schedules and the opportunity to watch our matches in places like Rome, Dublin, Paris, London and Edinburgh would be far more exciting to the South African public than to continue playing the same old boring matches every year.

If only the E. Province/Border/SW District teams had of done better in our 2ND division and got their PERFORMANCE act together we would have a good case. The NZ's have a saying that goes as follows "there is good and bad coming out of SA rugby, the bad is that if they got their act together heaven help the rest of the rugby world and the good is that they will never get their act together." The E Cape needs to get its act togther with regard to performance on the field and other success will automaticly follow.

In any event SARU will not accept the democratic vote of their SANZAR partners and have insisted on arbitration. They will lose this as well. “the whole damn convict colony off the NZ coast” You lost all credibility with this dumb racist comment - why is that necessary at all?
