OPINION: AS NEWS SURFACED THAT DUANE VERMEULEN COULD RETURN TO SOUTH AFRICA IN THE NEAR FUTURE, THE #RUGBYLATETACKLE TEAM - MORE SPECIFICALLY MORGAN NEWMAN - MAKES AN ARGUMENT FOR CENTRAL CONTRACTING IN THE COUNTRY.

Speaking on #RugbyLateTackle, former Stormers and Western Province centre Newman posed the idea of South Africa centrally contracting the best players in order for the Springboks to have a best versus best scenario during local Super Rugby derbies.
