South Africa Rugby chief drops broad hint that PRO16 move is on the cards as he warns rugby is facing big changes


SARU CEO Jurie Roux is trying to sort out the future of South Africa's club scene, with the current Super Rugby structure looking likely to end. It is widely expected that the four top South African Super Rugby franchises will join an expanded Guinness PRO16, replacing the existing Southern Kings and Cheetahs sides. However, Roux is not yet ready to abandon the idea of a Super Rugby tournament including the South African sides and Argentina's Jaguares continuing in some form in 2021. So we haven’t been kicked out of Super Rugby. Roux accepted that the coronavirus shut-down will bring about big changes in the way rugby is structured.
