💨 Abstract

SA Rugby CEO Rian Oberholzer supports the proposed Club World Cup, aiming to make South African teams prioritize the Champions Cup over the URC. Currently, teams like Sharks, Bulls, and Stormers focus more on the URC, often resting key players for the Champions Cup. Oberholzer sees the Club World Cup as a way to bridge the competitive gap between northern and southern hemisphere clubs, but financial details and structures are still being worked out.
