SA Rugby regulations are changed' to let more players from abroad play the game in S. Africa

THE South African Rugby Union (Saru) have reportedly changed their regulations around the number of foreign players allowed to play in local teams.

The 14 provinces can now have five non-SA players on their books when the previous total was just two.

The likely reason is that local squads are increasingly stressed because of the amount of rugby played during a 12-month season.
