CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - British Lions centre Jonathan Davies says the addition of two South African teams into the PRO14 tournament from next month offers players in the Celtic league a chance to test themselves against tough opposition on a regular basis.

"That's what you want as a rugby player, to test yourself against some of the best in the world and at the highest level. To have two teams who have been exposed to Super Rugby for a number of years coming to our league is only going to be a positive," Davies told Reuters on Friday.
