🔥 Exciting rugby news! The South African team, Toyota Cheetahs, is eyeing a spot in the United Rugby Championship (URC) amid uncertainty in Wales. With future plans for the Ospreys in limbo, the Cheetahs see a golden opportunity to step in should a Welsh team exit. 🚀
The Cheetahs, currently playing in the SA Cup and Currie Cup, are no strangers to the URC’s predecessor, the Pro14, and are keen to make a return. Their CEO, Rory Duncan, expressed the team’s eagerness, saying, “We don’t want to let an opportunity slip away.”
As part of a private equity investment led by Y11 Sports & Media, the Cheetahs are exploring all avenues to secure their place. This move would also strengthen ties with the Ospreys, as both teams are under Y11’s watchful eye. 🤝
With alternative options facing roadblocks, such as a London team thwarted by the RFU and interest from Georgian team Black Lion, the Cheetahs might just be the perfect fit to fill the URC spot.
Keep an eye on developments — this could shake things up in the rugby world! 🏉🌍 #RugbyNews #URC #ToyotaCheetahs #Ospreys #RugbyUnion
