The Australian Universities side will be arriving in South Africa on 16th.July 2009 and will play three(3) matches on their tour. Viz
Saturday 18 July vs.SA Rhinos( Ikageng Stadium, Potchefstroom)(Kick off 2h30pm)
Wednesday 22 July vs. SA Rhinos A (Bosman Stadium, Brakpan)(kick off 7h00pm)
Saturday 25 July vs. Tuks/Bulls (JU stadium, Johannesburg)(kick off 2h30pm)
The match at Potchefstroom will be the “test match “ of the tour when the South African Rhinos play against the touring side.
The purpose of the Australian Universities tour is to introduce Rugby League to South African Universities.
South African Rugby League is confident that the next RLIF Students World Cup will include Rhino Students.
South African Rugby League is also investigating the possibilities to host a Students World cup in future.

Oh man, not this sh*t again.
Look, they do not play Rugby League in South Africa. Rugby Union types will have a dabble when there is a bit of cash floating around, but outside of that, the game does not exist over there.

So what you're saying is let's not even try to widen and promote the game cos some rugger types might be involved!! never mind that they might enjoy it and want to continue at some level..or shall we just chuck the towel in ? |

Did you even read what I said?
Union types over there only decide to play the occasional game when they can get something out of it.
And make no mistake, they never want the game to go anywhere. They go out of their way to make sure Rugby league doesnt exist over there.

mate they have had about 50 different web sites in the last ten years claiming all the same sh*t.
I'm just here trying to stop people being dragged into it. The game is not played there in any capacity.

Look you can get sucked into it all if you like, but Ive just been around for long enough to have seen the same stories being ran out from that country for so long.
If something actually was happening, I'd be the first to talk about it. But nothing is happening there.

Considering that SA have previously played in World Cups were they involved in any way in the last WC qualifiers?

They didn't qualify because they don't play the game in South Africa. |

Listen to me...just listen....right...are you listening?
There has always been websites claiming to be from a South African Rugby league competition. They go back to when I first got online in 1995.....always been a website claiming the game exists there.
It doesnt.
These sites go up....they look all shiney and new.....nothing happens to them for an age.....then get taken down.....then a new one goes up, all shiney and new......
Notice how none of the older posters here are arguing with me? Its because they have also seen this all before and they know I'm right.
Look, they were not allowed to qualify for the World Cup because they don't play the game there. Have you seen a list of the teams who were allowed to qualify ahead of South Africa?
They don't play Rugby League there.

There might have been a lot of hot air come out of SA in the past but there is little doubt that RL is played there now. A number of touring teams have played there this year already (the Australian Universities team is there right now) so we know for a fact that the game is played there to some extent. The current website is not just a list of clubs but also has results, photos etc and is updated more regularly than in the past. And if you look on facebook there are even an SARL group. The only reason SA didn't play in the WC qualifiers was because they chose not to for financial reasons. They were grouped with the USA, West Indies and Japan and the games were scheduled for the east coast of the US. Both SA and the Windies chose not to go because they didn't have the cash, or believed what cahs they had was better sent elsewhere. The RLIF have even made a point of mentioning SA as a country with great potential and from that you can expect that they will get some financial support as a result of the WC profits.

Oh geez, this ones a true believer.
Anyway people, as I said, no reason to lie. But we have done this South African thing to death and the fact is, the game doesn't exist over there until it needs to for some financial reason.

Rugby League doesnt exist in South Africa. They dont have leagues, teams administrators or players.
When there is a bit of cash to be had, some union types put their hands up for a game....and thats it.
Rugby League does not exist in South Africa.

When two teams of 13 players in South Africa play a game of football in which the ball is played between the legs and with six tackles then rugby league exists there. It's a bit like denying the holocaust or the moon landing or something. All the evidence proves it but some people just won't accept it simply because they don't want to.
