Bulls coach Jake White has elaborately explained the complexities clubs have to negotiate to be able to compete in the Heineken Champions Cup, United Rugby Championship and Currie Cup.
“It has nothing to do with the fact that one tournament is more important than the other. It is about using the resources at your disposal. The other thing is, Exeter have to come to us in January, and it is going to be 40ºC here.
White said he won’t always play certain players because of their arrangement with South African Rugby. “There are 21 URC games, and there are four games if you go further in the Champions Cup. There are about 17 Currie Cup games, and you have to be clever about how you use your players.
