What good does it do to import players from the Lions. Wake up Kings. If they want to go forward, why import the players from the worst SR team ?
By the way, the Eastern Cape is not only made up of players of other colours !

@JohnPierre-33: You're are funny one, must be a reds or saders supporter, bitter over missing out. My thinking is that you must be an ozzi, because their the only idiots that want to go back to the good old days where the betislow cup actually ment something.

As much as a a joke as a Japie who wishes he was a Kiwi?

Surely not?

The record-books will be rewritten as the Southern Kinks get utterly smoked by 50 point and upward margins, week after cringeworthy week. It’ll make all of SA rugby as much of a global laughing stock as Equatorial Guinean swimming.

@bryce_in_oz-34: Why limit it to 'numerical'?

@JohnPierre-33:

You’re correct about the mess it’s beyond a joke and SANZAR should be setting them straight… you’re incorrect about taking the world’s 3rd best team from the toughest provincial competition in the world… all of NZAR would be instantly fiscally crippled and they’d kiss their provincial players and leagues good-bye…

But then again from your comments… no offence mate… you don’t sound like a numerical genius…

Actually I would just wish SA would go North and play with the Northerners…kind fits your style of play…leave the good rugby to NZ and Aus Teams …oh the Argies…but you guys are just moaners and boy how you turn on your own…WOW…it is mind blowing..

Oh dear…problems in the Republic AGAIN….is there any other scenario out of SA….NOPE…you have a circus masquerading as a Government, you have a Rugby Union that is not just dysfunctional but has no vision let alone kahonees (balls), so next years S15 will have a whipping boy of a Team called the Southern Kings…what a joke, what a disgrace that SA brings to the SH competition….and to XV take a jump SA doesnt subsidise anyone but a Team that has a one year contract to perform and guess what…they will be weighed, measured and found wanting…just like your SARFU and Government … go the Australiasians….

@Slappes-30: For what? Kak as the Lions were, they can at least say they earned their Super Rugby spot way back when. The Kings earned fokkal, never have, never will. And those who don't earn it almost always end up seeing their arses. Enjoy your lone year in Super Rugby, Slappes. And as for Cheeky Watson, the only ludicrous decision is giving his rabble mob a Super Rugby spot on a platter. Idiot.

Bye bye lions. 10years of absolute k@k super rugby and putridness has finally ended.Big Welcome to the Kings, they surely need 10 yrs as well to prove themselves?

You’d think a senseless decision would be right at home in a church. Ironic init

@Humphrey-26: It was never about transformation It was about $$$$$ in Cheeky's pocket

@kaksioek-25: well the Kings have just made their 1st couple of signings... Catrakilis from WP and Deon Van Rensburg from the Lions. How does this assist the "transformation" of SA rugby? Which black players are they going to keep out of the team?

@kaksioek-22: It's a shame SARU and Cheeky messed it up SARU should have entreched the Kings in the CC since 2005 and gave them a few friendlies before the season against the franchises and a few against the Aussie teams as well they would have been ready for inclusion once the current franchise contracts run out The Kings could have developed a lot of local (black) players and a black coach as well, like Treu Then the team would have had the support of the whole country

@kaksioek-21: if the Kings are simply going to be the Lions, then whats the point of the Kings? I thought the Kings idea was all about unlocking the talent in the hotbed of black rugby in SA?

By: kaksioek

kaksioek — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:55:33 +0000

All this has ever been about is giving Cheeky a golden handshake. How many black players do you think will play for the Kings in Super Rugby? How many play for them now? The Kings will just be the Lions under a different name – and two different Kiwi coaches.

The Kings will be able to attract the Lions’ best players with the lure of Super Rugby. If they can’t then beat the severely weakened Lions at the end of one year of Super Rugby, then they deserve to be eliminated.

Do the Kings “deserve” to be there in the first place? NO! So accept the lucky break you have achieved and shut the fark up!
