The Southern Spears have proposed to play a round of 10 exhibition games against the top five unions in the Premier Division as part of the Currie Cup - if they win their battle against SA Rugby in the Cape High Court.
The Spears have brought an application to force SA Rugby to make good on alleged promises of the franchise's participation in this year's Currie Cup, the Super 14 tournaments in 2007/8 as well as financial backing for the franchise.
Judgment is due next week.
SA Rugby said there was never a contract between the company and the Spears, and talks between the two parties were a process which involved them "feeling their way to an ultimate agreement".
Evidence before the court is that SA Rugby had funded the Spears more than R5-million until March.
Spears chief executive officer Tony McKeever said the franchise's aim was to cause as little disruption as possible to the tournament.
Last week, Judge Dennis Davis expressed concern that there would be huge implications for the Currie Cup, which is entering its fifth week of the 2006 trophy, if the Spears won their action.
Spears counsel, Norman Arendse, assured Davis that a suitable arrangement was possible. McKeever said this proposal would see the Spears play the teams - home and away - as they fall out of the Currie Cup competition.
"Rather than disrupt the tournament, serious consideration should be given to the staging of a round of 10 exhibition games between the Spears and the top five unions in the Premier Division, as they fall out in the advancement to the final. These games will then finish in mid-November," he said.
"The rationale behind this is that the television broadcast rights can be sold to a broadcaster, as well as a presenting sponsor, by SA Rugby to help underwrite development and the relegated Super 14 side.
"This format can be applied on an annual basis to develop a brand of creative running rugby, to grandstand new talent and skills.
"All the Spears want as compensation for being excluded from the Currie Cup is television exposure for our sponsors and game time for our players and talent in the Eastern Cape.
"It is an opportunity for SA Rugby to sell the television rights and to defray their costs as well as invest in rugby development."
McKeever said the Spears had a core squad of 22 players and was widely recognised at "The People's Team" throughout the Eastern Cape.
He said evidence of this was that the head coach, Peter de Villiers, and three Spears players were selected for the Springbok under-21 squad.
