Sarries to play in Cape Town!?
First topic message reminder :
Surely this is not a good move for Saracens, with a very strong S.A connection already this would only disenfranchise their domestic fan base?
Who would pay Biarritz's travel costs and what do Sarries season ticket holders think?
I would have thought that Cape Town has enough Rugby of their own without the need for ours.

Aren't the payouts tied to the number of English Qualified players in their squads? Don't see the problem with that.[/quote]
That was the RFU's original intention, but PRL changed it so every club got the same amout of money.

Re: Sarries to play in Cape Town!?
Wasn't that just for the EPS? I thought the ones based on the quota levels of English players weren't smoothed out?
The argument was that EPS payments would allow a small number of clubs to 'buy up' the best English players. That doesn't hold for the quota payments.
