I READ in last week’s TRP that there are 44 south African players now playing in the Premiership.
Sale have around ten alone and have just signed JP Du Preez on a two-year contract. Is this the way to advance English rugby?
 In Sale’s first match of this new season against Northampton the commentator said in their pack they had six South Africans and one Russian! This may be sound business and will certainly give Sale a great opportunity of winning the Premiership this season, but at what cost to English rugby!
It’s a subject which does not seem to be talked abou...
