Found this article....http://www.rugby365.com/article/4882...led-generation....really interesting. Going straight to the gist of it, the article basically states that:"Just 30 of South Africa's vast number of professional players will be able to sustain some sort of a living after they stop playing the game".That being the case, how much potential might there be for "scholarship" type recruitment? We have a couple of development player spots open for potential future Wallabies and that is fine. But so long as financial independence was maintained, would there be anything to prevent RugbyWA/sponsors perhaps recruiting players to WA? They obviously wouldn't be Force players, but could train with them and the academy on a semi-pro basis while getting a qualification. By the time they have completed that, residency would be basically up and they would be eligible for selection. The ES basically do in the Islands it via the schools, why not us via the mines?
