You've got Leo Cullen with Leinster, who's great.

He's got Jacques Nienaber, the World Cup winning coach, as his defence coach.

Yeah, Tyler Blayanol is there with him as well.

There's the mixture of...

And I think I heard this when Johan van Graan was Munster coach.

We had a beer one night and he told me the big thing, he's assistant coaches with Graeme Roundtree and Steven Larkin.

So just those mixes of ideas, I think that's the one thing super rugby and South African rugby in particular has probably missed out on over the years.

It's just that mix of ideas and just getting that through to a team.

And that's what they do well there.

And the other thing as well, what South African and super rugby teams don't do is when you get an injury, you go to your academy and you go to the next youngster and you bring him in.

Over there, they're flying an All Black or they're flying a Springbok as their replacement.

So their squad depth is incredible with that.

And with the power of the money and their budgets, they can do that.

This is another bugbear for me.

I was quite vocal about it in a video on my YouTube the other day.

Yeah, it's another one of these conspiracy theories that seems to start

And just catch fire.

What happened last Thursday, Mark Alexander, SA Rugby president, was re-elected and he gave a press conference, he was unopposed, and he was asked about a bunch of things.

If South Africa is going to bid for a World Cup again, he was asked about the future of SA Rugby and all that, and he was also asked about player welfare.

If you look at South African rugby, the one thing that we struggle with is the lack of a global season.
