CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South African rugby will benefit from two of its teams playing in the northern hemisphere PRO14 competition and this will not come at the cost of existing relationships in the south, SA Rugby chief executive Jurie Roux said on Friday.

South Africa’s Cheetahs and Southern Kings will join an expanded PRO14 for the new season after being culled from the southern hemisphere’s Super Rugby. They will take on clubs from Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.
