Obviously not 2015 Currie Cup related, and a touch old, but I thought this was interesting:

http://allafrica.com/stories/201508060596.html

Supposedly, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Kenya will be joining an expanded Currie Cup next Season.

Good move for African Rugby, but is it a good move for South African Rugby?

IMO, yes providing they come in at the second tier and then work their way up to the top via promotion/relegation. It will help those countries and provide a wider range of play for Currie Cup players who are looking to advance their careers to the next level.

Wont be a second tier. CC is going to expand into many teams.

Article states 18 then goes on to list the 14 current teams. Namibia, Zimbabwe & Kenya make 17 so who would the 18th be? And if there's 18 would they not play it in 2 x 9-team divisions? Or even 3 x 6 with a double round-robin?

They'll do some funny kak like a Inland and coastal division playing cross quaters like in the Vodacom. There is not enough time to do a proper CC like now with the eight teams.

Yep , our rugby heart has been killed already with the amount of chicken running.

Which has been caused by the ever-weakening Rand and politics in our sport. Can't blame them really.

Fok. I see we're playing WP this weekend. Here comes our first loss.

Eddie Jones new Stermers coach?
S24
Cape Town - Japan coach Eddie Jones has shot down reports he has signed a contract to take over South Africa's Stormers but said on Tuesday he was "chatting" with the Super Rugby side as he weighs up his options before his contract expires.
Australian Jones has a contract with the 'Brave Blossoms' until the end of 2015 but he was thought keen to remain in Japan, which will host the 2019 rugby World Cup, to coach the national side as well as the new Super Rugby expansion team.
However, reports from Cape Town on Monday said the 55-year-old had already put pen to paper on a two-year contract worth R5m per year with the Stormers.
The reports also suggested Jones could retain his role with Japan despite being based out of South Africa.
Jones told Japan's Kyodo News on Tuesday he was simply exploring his options.
"I am chatting with (the Stormers) but that's the extent of it," he said. "I am off contract in 2015 and I'm looking at my options.
"Players and coaches sign contracts and do everything they can until the contract comes to an end. But you need to look elsewhere when your contract is coming to an end. That's professional rugby."
Jones, who has never held a top coaching position in South Africa, said he was always drawn to the appeal of doing something different.
"That's why I came to Japan after coaching in England," he said.
"No Australian has done anything in Japan. I like new challenges and that's why I am chatting with them."
The Stormers lost to Australia's Brumbies in the playoffs of this year's Super Rugby tournament.
Their coach, Allister Coetzee, has since moved to Japan to take over Top League side Kobe Kobelco Steelers.

As we say in Afrikaans. "Dit was mos nou mooi!"

I just really hope we can continue like this for the rest of the Currie Cup, then we might actually make the final again for once.
