Wagner, who said the plans were still at the planning stage, told The Johannesburg Sunday Times: "It's only a proposition on our desk.
"There were a host of issues that need to be taken into consideration before a decision is made."

"But there's a lot of work to be done, certainly by the Stormers in the first instance, because, effectively, it's their game.
"I wouldn't say it's likely at this stage because of the amount of work that needs to be done, but it's in line with where we see the opportunities for the Crusaders."
The six-time champions play pre-season games in Melbourne and Sydney this month.
