The possibility of foreign players being allowed to play for Australian Super 14 sides has been thrown around in recent months.
I have to say I’m strongly in favour, provided there is a strict limit in numbers (say, a two or three maximum per franchise).
I believe it would add a bit of interest and ‘variety’ to the competition.

Or maybe Marcos Ayerza (the Argentinian prop) playing for the Reds.
Which other foreign players would you like to see playing for an Australian Super 14 team?
