    I can't find a definitive list but think there are only about three Cats in the Boks anyway?
    The Chuckers would snap them up so player numbers and availability should be maintained.

    will be a financial disaster for the Cats though.. they'll have to break player contracts to stay afloat, while Ellis Park sits empty!

    I think they voted some die hard Spears man into Office and he then went about dismantling SA Rugby to suit himself and seems to have done a good job of it (totally screwed it). I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure it is politically motivated.

    What a load of sh*t. Could you imagin if the Western Force got demoted and they put in a Melbourne side in the S14? Some blokes from the Force may have to relocate to Melbourne and some may end up without a Super 14 contract. Not to mention that all the staff that work for the union that get demoted are all out of jobs..

    I thought the Spears was an all black team... so what would happen to Pretorious, Fourie etc?

    To my untrained eye there appears to be about seven whites in the current squad Shaun: http://www.thespears.co.za/team.htm
    They also have a dude shown with an eye patch on one eye! Hope for him and them it isn't permenant?!

    Speaking to some South Africans at last night (yes all rugby fans are welcome), and they confirmed that the recently appointed (within last 18 months) Sports Minister is a black man and it is all his doing. They/he wants a black dominated team in Super 14 regardless of the consequences.
