I hope so. But we can't underestimate the opposition; Welsh, Irish and Scottish rugby is in a good place at the moment.Rinkals wrote: Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:15 am If we are undercooked, it shouldn't take more than a few games to get up to speed.
FFSRounds 4 to 6 will see the four South African ‘Super’ franchises play their away games in Europe and those fixtures will be confirmed once all appropriate travel approvals have been confirmed by the relevant authorities and governments. This format means that no teams from Europe will travel to South Africa for Guinness Rainbow Cup games.
At least it looks like we will play teams from overseas. I'm a bit over derbies.assfly wrote: Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:09 am Some fixtures announced:

It's a very short competition. I assume next year's one (i.e. 2021/2022) will be much longer.

This "Rainbow Cup" is just a one off excuse for fixtures during COVID similar to what the "Autumn Nations Cup" was. Next year will (hopefully) be a full blown Pro16 - two confs of 8, hom & away in conf and home or away inter conf and then playoffs.assfly wrote: Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:44 amYes, just have to wait until the end of May.handyman wrote: Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:42 am At least it looks like we will play teams from overseas.

I'm sure that Jurie can drumb up some money like he did in his Stellenbosch daysFalseBayFC wrote: Sat Mar 27, 2021 5:33 am Very important for SA rugby to get some TV money flowing. Cashflow must be a real issue.
