The reported South African Super Rugby exodus would be terrible for the game in the Southern Hemisphere, according to Hurricanes assistant Jason Holland.
In a report out this morning , WalesOnline claim that the Stormers, Sharks and Lions will follow the Cheetahs and Kings - the two culled sides from last season - and trade Super Rugby for the European Pro14 competition, with the move to take place for the 2019-20 season.
Speaking at Hurricanes training today, Holland said he was hopeful that the South African sides would remain part of the competition.
"I suppose from my opinion, it'd be a shame to not have the South African teams playing with us," he said.
"They add a different challenge every week.
