Hire Experts For Concrete Cutting Making The Best
Concrete Driveways Adelaide is often recommended because of their low servicing. While road needs maintenance over several decades, concrete, once set up and enclosed, needs very little care. However, the concrete costs more than the road to set up, so you do pay a price for the time you will save. 23 Jul 2018 by lease cleaning 23 views 0 Comments

Kings To Replace South African Team - Who? 1 views 7 Comments
25 April 2012 by The Swede Eaters
 

With news that SANZAR don't want to change their current 15 team competition, who should the new Southern Kings replace?

The Southern Kings will replace one of the current South African Super 15 Rugby teams after it was revealed that SANZAR are happy with the current "successful" format. This means that the Southern Kings will more than likely replace the bottom placed team which looks set to be the Lions. Do you think the Lions deserve to be relegated since they have performed well at Currie Cup level and have thrashed the Southern Kings in pre-season? Unfortunately for the Lions they haven't performed at Super Rugby level and this season has been another disappointing season for the John Mitchell coached side. Former Crusader Matt Sexton has been appointed coach of the Southern Kings, but it seems that no matter who they replace, they will struggle significantly. I wonder how many former Crusaders and Lions they will draw upon to bolster their squad? I assume that any good Lions players would be snapped up by other teams too. The Kings will need to draw on players from all over the globe including Argentina who are now in the new Four Nations Rugby Championship.

Do you think the Southern Kings should be included in the Super 15 at the expense of one of the current South African teams? Which team should it replace?

The Southern Kings are a politically motivated team formed to develop rugby talent in the Eastern Cape Region of South Africa.

You can scrap the development part because there is the Vodacom Cup for development. You do not develop players at Super 15 where they would get a 88 - 0 beqating like the Lions gave them. This is purely to force politics and affirmative action in the SA National squad. Nothing is really done for development its pure political. Quotas did not work now they are trying something else. If they think getting hammered every week will be good for the players let them go ahead.

Other thing is Super Sport owns a monopoly and a share in all the Super 15 sides from SA as well as a lot of teams in the Currie Cup. So they can control the competition and you can manipulate the system like that as well in deciding who gets in the Semi's and who wins it. The Kings will be the only side from SA they do not have a piece of the pie in.

Why not uproot the Lions , coach players owners etc & move them to the Eatern Cape , that way eveyone wins, the EC gets Super 15 rugby , we still get to support our Lions who play an incredible brand of rugby. To see Ellis park empty for top Super 15 rugby matches is not great.

I was against the idea at first, and then the Lions failed miserably again... So bring on the Kings, i think they'll get obliterated by everyone except the Rebels but hey... A change is as good as a holiday...

the lions gave the kings a hiding 88-0 in the pre-season so i dont know what they trying to achieve

I think this could be something new and keep the comp more interesting with anew team. My concern is that will there actually be new faces or just a lions team in an new kit, region and name?????
