Leicester Lions? Oh wait, that's already been taken.
Either Tigers are trying to make some Saffas EQPs or the Saffas are coming over because of the discriminatory quota system in SA.

I think the Saffas are lured by the money. The discriminatory bit is not significant in rugby. I don't want to extend this discussion as we may all get into trouble.

I think you may find that there are or certainly were quotas in SA rugby. I am not sure if that is still the case in modern society

Several of the SA players playing overseas are ones who would 'benefit' from a quota system, e.g. de Jongh and Kolbe. Obviously they have had no need of such a system as they're both players who would make most teams on merit. Likewise Tendai Mtawarira who has gone to play in the USA.

Sorry Front5 you may wish to edit your post to clarify what you mean as I don't understand it and I am sure I am not the only one.

The only way it is going to reduce is if the RFU take the sensible decision to reduce their payments to premiership clubs by several thousand pounds for each overseas player in each match they appear in. Why should the RFU fund overseas players? Would love to see this but probably a dream!

Best suggestion I have heard in years - however the RFU haven't got the balls to do that. |
