May 14 is the last day that local rugby players will be able to to terminate their contracts so they could avoid the Covid-19 coronavirus-enforced pay cuts that will reflect at the end of this month.
This is because May 14 is the last day of the 21-day window period local rugby players were given by SA Rugby to terminate their contracts so they could avoid the Covid-19 coronavirus-enforced pay cuts that will reflect at the end of this month.
Bulls utility back Johnny Kôtze was first to fly the nest by telegraphing his intentions to leave the same week the salary cuts were announced. But, while the rest of the players have kept their intentions to themselves, it sounds like there are all kinds of considerations taking place behind closed doors.
But, as an official familiar with these machinations told City Press, dreams of signing with an overseas team would not necessarily prove to be a solution to their problems to the logistical issues strewn all over that process. “It’s an interesting one because there’s one big challenge all of them have forgotten – how do you get out of South Africa to go to France or England?
“So their overseas deals must be so good and come with a sign-on fee at least to carry the player for the next few months as he still has to live off something, and chances are he’ll be in South Africa for at least the next two months or so.
