@KingsArmy-107: That about sums up what is wrong with the Kings. Rugby in the professional era is ALL about winning, if it is not then don't bother to pitch. @Transformation-108: Indeed and players (top players anyway) want to play for winning team.

Kings will be just fine. They aren’t expected to win the tournament…just give the locals a team to cheer for. Their big games this season will be the first one against the Force…and the two promotion-relegation games against the Lions.
Good luck to them.

Looks like u all forgetting its not just about winning for the kings. Its about getting superrugby to the people of the EC. Stormers and other teams were also bad in the beginning. Now all our good players don’t have to leave after school for other teams.

Credit to the Kings for their fightback but the Lions can not be happy with the way they let the Kings back into the game after leading 27-7 in the second half, whatever the reasons. Instead of kicking on they lost focus and became unstructured in their play.

Interesting home game attendance stats:

vs Kings – 18765

2012 SR:
Cheetahs – 19244
Lions – 23313
Sharks – 24271
Bulls – 33562
Stormers – 41919

2012 CC:
Blue Bulls – 14199
Western Province – 16859
Golden Lions – 17035
Free State Cheetahs – 17262
Natal Sharks – 21458

@numba4lock-101: Ha ha, so this is a Lions squad that lost just about every big name player except for JC van Rensburg. And they still beat the Cheetahs, beat the Kings and ran the Bulls to within 6 points. Boring? You probably find Verimark commercials riveting.

@numba4lock-101: Boring Lions huh? LOL. You probably glad the Lions are not playing this year... they are the Sharks kryptonite these past few years.

was at a function on thursday night…

the sa sports legends trust dinner.

bossie clark is the head trustee and gary teichman and shawn pollock were the guest speakers.

was amazed to learn that cricket south africa refused to acknowledge both peter vd merwe and neil adcock on their passing.

what have we become? the rest of the cricket world mourned these two greats of the game yet our small minded administrators choose to follow their politically chosen paths.

shame on them – what bitter little people they are.

@RL-67: @Liewe Luiperd-86: Didn't the Lions beat the Cheetahs? And didn't they pretty much destroy their scrum? Are the Cheetahs going to be clocking up century defeats as well?
