South Africa come calling

South Africa come calling

According to the Rugby paper Rassie Erasmus director of South African Rugby is hitting the phones to get South African players back home.

Evidently Vincent Koch (out of contract at the end of season) is a target and is keen to return home.

Of Sarries S.A players it won't be long before he calls Mike Rhodes.

IMO one/both would be a big loss as they have both now settled down into our team.

He can't call them all home it would cost too much...

Rhodes qualifies for England after this season and I’ve heard Eddie Jones has had his eye on him

Neither of them qualify for South Africa on account of them both being white smiling smiley

Maybe Koch just couldn't settle to the English lifestyle... Best of luck to him if he does return home

Koch has been excellent. Your starting TH for me and it would be a real blow to lose him. Rhodes arguably a player you miss more than many of your big names in terms of the total season.

SA rugby is a basket case right now but you'd begrudge neither of them returning if that were the only way to play for SA?

No SaintEd I would not begrudge them going home. If true I am sure the club have it in hand...

Sorry that wasn't a criticism and I am sure you're right.

it would be a shame if VK left. For all the reasons above

But if he does go I would expect to see my namesake Neville Longbottom get a few starts if hes up to speed


he looked the real deal before he was injured and shirley must be regaining full match fitness by now?
