Rookie picks A rookie was classified as a South African player aged 22 or younger on the day of the auction and who had not been previously drafted in the league.
All six teams were mandated to select a player from the rookie draft. A player meeting the definition of a rookie could be bought in the regular auction stage, but if not chosen became eligible for the rookie draft, which took place at the end of the regular auction.
Each rookie player had a set value of R75,000, which was deducted from the team's available salary cap prior to the auction. The order of selection of the rookie draft was in reverse order of the final position of each team in the previous season.
