@TooMuchRugby-42: "From the region" means what? They were born and raised there? Went to school and learnt to play the game there? Represented EP Border or SWD there? Or just "born there and then bluggered off asap as babies"?

@Joe Maher-38: Super 10 was amateur rugby. Played by shoe salesmen, cops, students and truck drivers. Nowhere near to the REAL Super Rugby played by full-time professional rugby players.

W.r.t. talent from the Eastern Cape, it is intersting to note that the current Bulls CC squad have 6 players from the region
The Stormers squad had 4

Lions are **** !
I agree with AssassinWP. Lions supporters must wake up and realise that if you can’t handle the pressure, Get Out ! And please, Kings, do not import players from the Lions. This will only mean having the worst team again. At least the Kings have a chance to prove themselves.

Tough luck lions, but ask yourself the question, how did you manage to put yourself in this situation?

@Humphrey-18: As I said before blame SARU, not the Kings Anyway it is not the same, because the Lions are bankcrupt and the Kings not (maybe)

The Kiwi teams were regional teams right from the start, whilst we entered our Currie Cup teams into the competition.
No need to get defensive though, even though they were called Transvaal doesn’t detract from the fact that they won it.
After that came the Cats and then when the Lions returned they were c.rap.
You are only as good as your last game.

@TooMuchRugby-31: Really? The Reds still refer to their win when they were Queensland same goes for the Blues when they were just Auckland back in the day. Try again.

@Kiefpant-25: Transformation is not necesarily achieved by loading the team with previously disadvantaged players, but in many other ways resulting from the injection of sponsors and skilled coaches because of the elevated status of the top team in the franchise.

If pathetic teams like the Force,Rebels an Lions can play the Kings might as well get in on the act as well

Stop moaning you **** let Kings play,what has the Lions done in Super Rugby ever

What transformation? The vast majority of the players are white and will be imported. This is not good for SA rugby because a relegation system kills either unions chance of building player depth. Players are always going to be looking for the first ticket out.

SARU themselves are nothing more than a bunch of quotas who simply do not have the ability to manage South African rugby. Affirmative action in administration has simply resulted in crappy administration, just like the rest of the country
