Could South African stars be eyeing up moves to top English clubs?
By Rugby Pod
The Rugby Pod this week brought up some interesting discussions on the possible futures of two South African stars.
Kwagga Smith and RG Snyman are both highly rated by rugby fans across the globe, and a move to England is a possibility for both of these players.
Andy Goode spoke about how well Kwagga Smith would fit into a team like Saracens with his high work rate off the ball. Current Saracens back-row Jackson Wray plays in a similar way to Smith, and with the latter being 3 years younger, a move to the London-based club could be a possibility. Harlequins was also mentioned as a good fit for Smith, providing some much-needed pace to the back row.

RG Snyman has also being touted as a potential future Sale Sharks player with Goode highlighting how his physicality could bring some welcome power to the Sharks' pack. With Sale currently 11th in the Gallagher Premiership table, the addition of this 23-year-old could be just the thing that the Manchester clubs needs to survive this season.

Go to commentsThink it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
