CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) The South African rugby union has called a special meeting for July 7 to decide which two of its six teams will be dropped from Super Rugby.
SA Rugby says next month’s special general meeting will decide on a proposal from its executive council. That proposal still needs to be debated by chief executives of South Africa’s 14 provincial unions before it reaches the special general meeting.
The Bloemfontein-based Cheetahs and Port Elizabeth-based Southern Kings are widely expected to be the South African teams cut from next season, although SA Rugby insists no decision has yet been made.
