Tough decisions for SARU

South Africa's rugby bosses are set for two tough decisions: The future structure of the Currie Cup, and how will the Kings be accommodated? Sport24's Stephen Nell reports.

"Rugby administrators from all 14 provinces will search for answers in a workshop at Newlands on Wednesday.

"Next year the Super Rugby tournament stretches until the first weekend of August. There will be a break during June for the Test window against the Northern Hemisphere sides, with England coming to South Africa.

"The upshot of it all is that competition time for the Currie Cup will be reduced and that is why there is apparently a proposal for a more streamlined structure from 2012 - six teams in the Premier League and eight in the First Division.

"This year there is still a Premier League with eight teams and a First Division with six sides. However, it's unlikely that smaller unions will be keen to move towards a more streamlined structure."
