Former Springbok captain John Smit reckons this season's Rugby Championship could be tougher, based purely on the fact that South Africa have to travel away to face New Zealand.
Marco Masotti, the owner of the struggling Sharks side, has taken to X to respond to John Smit's criticism.
Former Springbok head coach Jake White has urged the Six Nations not to add South Africa into the mix, saying that it would lose its charm as a Championship.
