Overview
- SA Rugby president Mark Alexander announced the plan on Wednesday, setting out a structured forum for national and domestic coaches.
- The forum is designed to deepen regular communication between Springbok staff and coaching teams at franchise and provincial level.
- Existing collaboration around Players of National Interest, whose salaries are partly funded by SA Rugby, underpins the initiative.
- Support to the Bulls and other unions will continue on request as guidance and idea-sharing rather than a shift in team identity.
- Formal establishment is targeted for early 2026 with a focus on relationship-building, best-practice exchange and appropriate alignment.
