Willem Strauss, Chairman of the new 12 team Castle Super League, could be the ‘national team cup’ of the Viter Club.
Five main unions will be represented at the inauguration tournament that will begin on Saturday, February 15. Bulls of Naka Bulle, Harlequins and Tuine Grizzlies; LIMPOPO’s netham rhinos and Louis Trichardt; Northam Wolves of Leopards and Louis Trichardt, Pumas Sasol Secunda.
The team will play in the R500,000 as a prize, and Strauss said, “It is the biggest crisis in South Africa’s club competition.”
Strauss said that the tournament could improve the game to the next level.
“In fact, I have a firm opinion that Castle Super League is likely to be the ‘national team cup’ of the Viter Club,” he added.
“Castle Super League will benefit everyone, such as clubs, players, coaches, referees, sponsors and fans. It also serves as an opportunity for players to show their abilities. Numerous hidden talents have been found at the club level and are currently competing professionally.
“Developing a professional athlete is a valuable result, but the main focus is that competition such as Castle Super League is an important means of ensuring the relevance and sustainability of South Africa’s club rugby. Club rugby will continue to play an important role in South Africa’s rugby ecosystem. ”
Bulls, director of Jake White, said: “Club rugby is worth a lot of reasons. Not all players get a chance to become a spring cock, and many of the unfortunate people lose their interest immediately after the school, often overlook the possibility of joining the club, and play at a lower level of competition. Even if you do it. .
“It is amazing that being a member of the club is a deep understanding of the reality that values, tradition, culture, devotion and success requires serious efforts. Club level players, coaches and fans are all champions in their own way. ”
