Sharks/Lions case heads to court
Posted by Morné - 10/02/10 at 04:02 pm under Rugby AdministrationThe Judicial Officer Mr. Koos Basson, ruled this morning that the complaint lodged by the Golden Lions Rugby Union against The Sharks and two players, Willem Alberts and Louis Ludik, is not valid.
Media release by Brian van Zyl
He said this was because the complaint required him to rule on the validity of the contracts of the two players. He declined to deal with the matter any further.
This is the second time that SA Rugby have failed to give a final ruling as to whether or not Alberts or Ludik can play in the 2010 SANZAR Super 14 competition. On the first occasion the Chairman of the National Judicial Committee of SA Rugby refused to adjudicate what he called a contractual dispute between The Sharks and the Golden Lions Rugby Union.
In the circumstances The Sharks and the players are left with no choice but to get an urgent ruling from Court in order to allow the players to play in the competition.
We hope this will be on Friday.

Agents are paid,contracts drawn up.
Be professional.
Its a court matter
with monies owed to the player
for loss of earnings.
As for the unions-pathetic.
Typical african mismanagement.
SARugby did the only logical thing
send the matter to court
why get caught up in it
its a straightforward court matter.
