Yep......all subject to change in this world these days !
But, as it stands, the Lions are still going ahead.

Good morning South African friends,
Too bad the tournament hasn't started yet. I can imagine how great it is for you to be able to participate in the Rainbow Cup.
Play against Irish, Scots, Welsh. Reasonable travels without jet lag. Above all, your teams will have more financial resources.
Being Argentine I must admit that I would have loved that Jaguares had joined the PRO16 with Sharks, Lions, Stormers and Bulls.
Unfortunately Jaguares is currently confined to South America and plays against Cafeteros PRO (Colombia), Olimpia (Paraguay), Cobras (Brazil), Selkham (Chile) and Peñarol (Uruguay). After having played Super Rugby it is quite depressing.

Its a possibility the Jaguares might end up joining it.

Having South America based in Spain would be good to get a new audience. Not sure how popular it is in Spain though.

Hmm, I think the pumas did better as a team when most of their players were based in France and England.
Nice to see that they are trying to create their own continental competition , but it would almost be better to Join major league rugby. Looks like they are growing and more teams are being added.
Some decent crowds too
