    Insightful comment there Skim.
    Read this:

    Boks limited to three overseas players

    Sunday Star Times | April 27, 2008 – 6:09PM

    New Springboks coach Peter de Villiers has been forced to shut the door on many of the side’s World Cup winning stars ahead of this year’s international season.

    Players like Victor Matfield, Butch James and Percy Montgomery now ply their trade in Europe and the South African board has limited De Villiers to a maximum of three overseas-based players.

    World Cup winning captain John Smit, who now plays for French club Clermont, has already been named captain.
