Let’s hope the same doesn’t eventuate here. I’m all for cultural diversity, but it would be a shame if all our best RU players have to head OS to make a quid. Or peso. Or franc.

Agreed. But it could be good for rugby getting the SA style of play (the dirty barstards) into some aussie teams

“Franchises are allowed to sign-up just two overseas imports, one of whom can be a “marquee” player.”

That’s something akin to how the import system first worked for the English Premier League back in the day. Prior to that, if you look at the team sheets for the then First Division or FA Cup sides, it was a see of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh names.

Now, of course, you’re hard-pressed to spot the pom, paddy, Jimmah or Gareth on most EPL sides.
