SARU could really accelerate the competitiveness of Netherlands rugby, by sending many Dutch descendant Afrikaners to play for them (the ones who can’t make the Springboks). I don’t know why South Africans don’t do this to this day. Many South Africans wanted to be part of the Six Nations. Well, Netherlands can be in the expanded Six Nations, if Afrikaners seriously wants this opportunity to happen.

Good luck to you all from England. The 6 Nations needs to become 8 Nations !

That’s nice of you to say, but let’s not forget that your England (also Scotland and Wales) was the reason rugby didn’t become popular in all of mainland Europe, last century. It is because of a “closed shop” and elitist mentality that stifled the growth of the game. Now, rugby is playing catch up, with the other professional sports; that have known to be very inclusive and largely successful in popularity around the world (I.e Football/Soccer and Basketball, etc.).

Hoping to see a much more competitive Ireland this time. PS I'm not Irish.
