According to this article the Japanese teams the Isuzu Kings and the Toyota Cheetahs between them are playing with a whole new deck ....that is a phenomenal overturn of players...

Tragic for the Cheetahs to lose so many quality players...can't see them reaching the heights of the previous season ...as for the Kings could they get much worse anyway ...
Their obviously would be further looting at the end of the season.
I do not rate the NH club teams as being up to standard - but neither are the Cheetahs and Kings teams.

...notsoclevermike it's like the Japanese are flooding the Pro 14 market with a bunch of cheap cars.. ...
...Any players to watch out for coming out of the Currie Cup ?...i noticed the Cheetahs just got thrashed by WP so that must be doing wonders for t heir confidence going into the Pro 14...
The game was played in terrible weather conditions I Cape Town. I think schckerling was the lkey o the success of WP - but on the Cheethas side tere are a few players on ahs to watch out for in PRO 14.
To early to tell w hat is going to happen.

Plenty of SA payers to choose from in the Pro 14 Guiness fantasy comp which has just kicked off ...

Kleyn and Coetzee usually score well ..Blommjetjies scored a double for Scarlets playing fullback in preseason but not sure if he will be getting much game time with Halfpenny and McNicholl there...you can no longer choose Cheetahs hookerVan Jaarlsveld as he has left so who is the new Cheetahs hooker i wonder ?
Who could have figured that, that the move to the north would speed up the loss of players.
It was another SA tale to claim that this move would give SA franchises the financial means to cling on their players.
It is leaking even more.
