Rainbow Cup off: What next?

Published on

With the Rainbow Cup set to be scrapped, it’s up to fans to come up with something to fill the hole in the rugby calendar – what do you think SA Rugby should consider as a replacement?

It is expected that SA Rugby will on Tuesday confirm that South Africa’s team will not head into the first round of fixtures.

If South African teams do indeed miss out on participation in the competition, it will have far-reaching financial implications for SA Rugby and the provincial unions, not to mention the impact on the Boks’ preparation for the highly anticipated Test series against the British & Irish Lions.

All things considered, which of the following options would you prefer SA Rugby to consider as an alternative for the canned Rainbow Cup?

This poll has ended (since 4 months).
