Bunch of rubbish.

Typical Rassie move. Only cares about money, like when he turned his back on the Bokke before the RWC 2007 to go to the Stormers.

He is a garbage human that must eff off and join his rubbish buddy Puke Twatson overseas.

All these trash people must stay overseas and die there.

We don’t need their kind. Let them rot in the island of mud, then dump their corpses in the Thames.

200 of the worlds best players???

lets see now.. if you take 40 from SA, Aus and NZ each, thats 120 players… where are the other 80 players supposed to be coming from??

surely not from Europe, as that would make a mockery of the “200 of the best players in the world” statement…

Great News.

Does anyone have details about the suggested rules/format of this comp?

Sure it was a farce

This does not mean it is over – it all now depends on if Rassie wants to make a proper power play for the league to become a rebel league and see if he can entice players away from their national or franchise contracts.

Rassie does not need the consent of the IRB, SARU or SANZAR for the tournament to run.

This could become messy – we saw it with world series cricket, Packer tried world rugby corporation in 1995 and there have been similar splits in league in Australia.

It all now depends on what rassie decides to do.

Considering that Rassie was promoting this as being for the WORLDS best 200 players and positioning it in the middle of the 6 Nations, it’s not surprising this fraud was turned down. It looks as if the idea was never presented formally to the IRB first.

Good, didn’t see it working anyway. And blessing in disguise. Erasmus could have lost a lot more if it was approved and turned out to be a flop anyway.

Again………

When Brandon McCullum hit 150 for the Kolkata Knight Riders can you tell me what the cheerleaders were wearing, what music was playing and who won the beauty pageant? I can’t, all I remember is that on that day it rained sixex……..

Still a dumb idea to try to bring this to rugby.

“but IPL matches are often remembered more for the tacky off-field entertainment (cheerleaders, fireworks, loud music, beauty pageants, etc) than for the quality of the cricket. IPL cricketers” – SIMON BORCHARDT.

Okay this is the dumbest statement on this website.

Ja, bad idea but let’s give the Rassies their due for putting their ***** on a bl0ck. IMO this idea is 5-10 years ahead of its time..kinda like Harry Viljoen was at the Boks.

It was doomed to failure from the get go. Players need the off season to recuperate and prep for the S15.

Also if PlanetRugby is to be believed South Africa may have their Kings team in the Super comp in 2013. To accommodate another team it would entail South African teams commencing their conference a little earlier, so the 20/20 Erasmovision would possibly get in the way.
