Bulls Call for SA Competitions Shake-up
Bulls president Willem Strauss has requested a strategic workshop to address SA Rugby's competition structures.
In a letter to SA Rugby, Strauss cited the move away from Super Rugby to the northern hemisphere as creating "many challenges" for the local game, including scheduling, commercial sustainability, and player welfare.
- Scheduling
- Commercial sustainability
- Player welfare
"I have been studying successful leagues such as the NRL and NFL for decades, and they all have the same deals and trends,"
Strauss noted that the local game has not progressed like the Springboks, with declining match attendance and overwhelmed clients.
