Get your gloves on… it’s “Super 16″ time again
So this is kind of predictable, right? Having announced last week that the Southern Kings will definitely play Super Rugby in 2013, sort of added as a throwaway statement at the end of the Bok coach announcement with no details as to how it would be accomplished, SARU now look to have their hopes set on further expansion of the tournament, rather than having to drop one of the existing teams.

With 42 days left to the opening of the Rugby World Cup, an embattled coach taking flack on foreign soil for his selections, the Boks coming off the back of a loss to the Australians and with the All Blacks looming in a couple of days, it was left to South Africa’s very own, self-styled Rebekah Brookes to break the worst-kept secret in SA Rugby.
