Rian Oberholzer fronts up to tough questions

Loading player...
SA Rugby chief executive Rian Oberholzer is in the hot seat on the latest edition of To The Last Drop. Presenters Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme fired wide ranging questions at the veteran rugby administrator, in particular SA Rugby's much publicised proposed equity deal with the Ackerley Sports Group (ASG). Oberholzer reaffirmed SA Rugby's need to enter an equity agreement and he explained why ASG was their preferred bidder.
Oberholzer also laid bare what SA's competition structure might look like if all the balls in the air fall into place and why the country can't afford to only have four professional teams.
Brenden and Liam also reflect on the last weekend of URC action before the competition went into recess.
