South Africa considers Sanzar split. 'Any South Africa decision would have a major impact on the Tri-Nations and Super 15 competitions.'

To be honest I don't think it will happen. If it did happen then it would be down to a ten team competition. I don't see any room for more New Zealand sides but Australia doesn't have sides in Tasmania, South Australia or the Northern Territory so while I think those three would be non-starters, the possibilty is there.
South Africa has five exisiting sides and and the so far excluded Southern Kings, meaning six teams in total and a workable league set up right there.

Try fest in the Munster/Australia "match".

But it was raining...
