PRO14 to expand again?

Editor

The Guinness PRO14 is set to expand once again, according to reports, with three further South African teams in line to join the league.

Following the introduction of the Cheetahs and Southern Kings this season, WalesOnline are reporting that the Sharks, Lions and Stormers are also likely to commit by the start of the 2020/21 season.

The PRO14 hierarchy have been pleased with the impact of the Cheetahs and Kings on the field, while revenue has increased due to their introduction.

South Africa’s franchises have also become frustrated by Super Rugby, with the different time zones cited as a significant handicap.
