Why not introduce an extra team in the SLA next season. This team will be made up of junior club players that are nominated by their clubs and play wednesday evening matches against all SLA clubs and then still be available for their club matches the saturday. This will give these very talented players the chance of measuring them with the best in the province and get the needed exposure to the people with all the say in WP rugby. I am sure these players are fitter than most SLA players in any case. They still play the game for the love of the game and not the money!!!!  This will not extend the season, but add 2 more matches for all SLA clubs.Who knows it might even improve the fitness level in the SLA. fEEL FREE TO COMMENT.

Sorry, no chance of working. SLA clubs don't want to play on Wed nights, because the players are not the same the Sat after a Wed match. Junior clubs will not nominate their players because what do they get for the risk of injury to their best players?

Fitter that SLA players because they play for the love of the game and not money? Then they should be fitter that the Stormers and Boks players as well.

If they really want to measure themselves against the strongest players in club rugby and they think they are good enough they must join a SLA club. To give you an idea - at Durbell we regularly get players who played Curriecup for teams like Eagles, Falcons, Leopards etc. then they can't make our 1st team. Competition at SLA clubs are fierce. We have over a hundred players playing for those 22 positions. It's not a case of just walking into a team.
