English jumping on the South Africa bandwagon
Premiership Rugby Chief Executive and EPCR Board member, Simon Massie-Taylor, added: “It is very exciting to have these five South African clubs joining EPCR’s tournaments. Their inclusion will take the competitions to a new level of intensity for the players and enjoyment for the fans.
“Our Premiership clubs are looking forward to playing against some of the best the southern hemisphere has to offer and matching up against players from South Africa’s Rugby World Cup 2019 winning side.
“It is a big step forward in expanding the reach of these unique and special tournaments, and bringing world-class, international club rugby to new audiences.”
In English please if you don't mind. Not all of us are from the backblocks of Bloembogonburg.....

Oom was just offering the customary greeting and a warm welcome to yourself as a new upstanding poster.
Righto. Good of him. Still not sure why that wasn't delivered in English though. I wasn't conversing in Afrikaans was I?average joe wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 12:13 pm Oom was just offering the customary greeting and a warm welcome to yourself as a new upstanding poster.

He probably put too much brandy in his morning charge office coffee. His English tends deteriorate after a few.

Or as loan words. They'll say "Ek laaik dit." Means " I like it".

Interesting
He is right that the calendar would allow for the Boks to be in both the 6N and the RC.

The BiLs tour only every 12 years to SA. That won't be a big loss .
I appreciate that, hell of a thing to bring them to an end though.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 3:27 pm The BiLs tour only every 12 years to SA. That won't be a big loss .
How much does the BiL tour bring to SA rugby and the SA eceonomy every year?OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 3:27 pm The BiLs tour only every 12 years to SA. That won't be a big loss .
No reason why they couldn't still tour.
6N Feb to March
Lions Tour June to July
Rugby Champs August to October.
The Boks would be knackered by the end of it though
No doubt it could be crammed into the fixture list but touring SA after they’d just competed in the 6/7N seems a bit pointless. The Lions might as well tour France as well.

What's the answer? And where would you find that sort of revenue to replace it?

Dublin Bokke Ireland autumn test already sold out.
So is the test 2 weeks later against shithouse Australia.
Don't kid yourselves you're the draw, folks.
I think this is an appropriate thread

Parra blasts tournament chiefs after South Africa club inclusion
French No. 9 Morgan Parra says South African clubs should not be allowed to participate in European competitions.
It comes following the news that South African franchises will take part in the 2022/23 Champions Cup and Challenge Cup tournaments, with Parra's Stade Francais side due to face the Lions in Johannesburg in December.

But the scrum-half has criticised the decision to allow those from South Africa to compete in Europe's top rugby events. “I’m going to be honest: it’s a great experience for the players who are going to face these franchises but for me, it’s no longer called the Champions Cup," he told Midi Olympique. "Before, it was the European Cup – with real meaning and history, too.
“I have nothing against the southern hemisphere but today it is no longer the European Cup. Let it be called something else and say that the European Cup no longer exists. And it’s the same for the Challenge Cup, it no longer exists. For me, the two competitions should not be played with South African clubs.”
