Former Springbok winger and 2007 Rugby World Cup winner Bryan Habana says a move to the Northern Hemisphere for SA Rugby can only really take shape once there’s clarity on a global season.
Speaking at the launch of his web-based interface called MatchKit.co that seeks to help athletes from across different sporting codes to make better use of their online profiles and to monetise them; Habana said southern hemisphere governing body Sanzaar needs SA Rugby and the South African rugby market because of the unfriendly Australasian time zones.
With an hour to two time difference for European viewers‚ depending on the time of year‚ the games are even earlier in the morning in the northern hemisphere. “The games are much easier to watch in South Africa as compared to waking up in the early hours of the morning to see what’s going on in New Zealand.”
“It’s tough to give a view now because a decision hasn’t been made. It’s tough to see where our Super Rugby franchises and the national team would fit in the northern hemisphere with the current state of the game‚” Habana said.
