Premiership Rugby is investigating the possibility of introducing South African teams into the Anglo-Welsh Cup.
The competition currently features the 12 English Premiership clubs and the 4 Welsh regions.
But changes to rugby’s calendar post-2019 would offer English rugby bosses the chance to invite Currie Cup teams into the developmental tournament.
The prospective competition would run during the international windows in November and February / March.
The Currie Cup is the second tier of professional rugby in South Africa.
Currently, club tournaments are split into hemispheres but it is understood there is now a more open-minded approach to arranging them by time-zones.
