Rugby YouTuber and TikTok content creator Jordan Buhrs has floated an idea on his channel that could resurrect the Currie Cup.
South Africa's domestic competition kicked off last weekend with teams struggling for attendance.
In the United Rugby Championship era, the Currie Cup has struggled for relevance. In stark contrast to previous years, last year's final between the Lions and the Sharks at Ellis Park did not attract a full house.
Buhrs, in a video posted on his TikTok channel Jordan Buhrs Rugby, suggested the tournament deserves a major shake-up to build up the hype and bring back its glory years.
