Save Cheetahs from greedy teams: iLIVE

Francoise Campbell, Edenvale: What a thrill to watch the recent scintillating good form of my favourite team, the Cheetahs.

They have lost many extremely close games, but have been undeterred by crippling injuries, having their young talent raided by richer unions and being a virtual feeder union to the Sharks.

Now watch the rival sides scrambling to sign the likes of Sarel Pretorius, the Ebersohn brothers and Ashley Johnson.

To encourage a balanced Super 15, such excessive mercenary raiding shouldn't be allowed. In Australia, the Rugby League code states that a few rich clubs cannot dominate all the talent. Thus, no more domination by a handful of rich teams.
