Not watched much URC but was it really that poor before the South African teams joined?

A lot of the top Irish players don't feature regularly in main seaskn of URC so wouldn't make a dream team across a season.

I suppose it’s less of a surprise that 6 of the pack are SA.

A strange selection by two Ulster players for the BBC who show little interest in rugby.

Yes, in simple terms.

However URC NH teams tend to send second stream players to SA in the most part - due to AI & 6N committments. Totally unbalanced.
