Bulls: Rookie locks. Lost their best 2 flankers for 8 weeks. Pollard gone. They are stuffed. Sharks: Always promise lots and deliver little. No Lambie. Why would this season be any different? Who is the coach anyway? Stormers: Their coach would not even coach a club side in Aus or NZ...

Fleck :D Now there's an upgrade from Eddie Jones. For those who forgot / may not have know he has been the Stormers backline coach for the last 4 years. That try machine.

Head on home, Son. We're the world bloody champions at forgiving dickheaded sportsmen for being, well, dickheads. Just get yourself an interview where you cry and look really sorry and you'll be okay.

Welcome to 2012, Dismal. You give new definition to the term "Go deep". Slow Saturday? :)

I think they are going to kick some serious arse. The age of the pack is ridiculous. To play like that and so young. And they are building depth. Fantastic. Loving it.

That is some Baabaa backline that is.

Seriously do you really think he is stuck with the same philosophy. The very first thing he said in press conference after apologising to the Stormers yesterday: "The strength of English rugby has always been the set-piece and we don't want to take that away. We want to have that bulldog...

Did he really have any other choice at the time?

It is widely known that he placed a huge emphasis on the scrum in Japan over the last couple of years so I am nut sure where you get that from. The Japanese scrum was really solid. No modern coach will have a lack of interest in the scrum for the simple reason that they know how hard it is...

What like the one Japan played? That was not an overcoached team. That was a bloody well coached team.

So he is going to become a helicopter pilot. I'd never fly with the dude. He's sure to break every friggin' rule in the book even before takeoff. Bye Richie. Not going to miss you. Sorry. Great player, no doubt. Who's goign to keep Owen Franks company on the wrong side of the ruck now? I...

More players walking out and some of the Kings players have been given food vouchers by the Player's Association :eek: SARU's response? They are "monitoring the situation". :D

All this worry that Japan wouldn't pull finger and get their team sorted. At this rate SARU will end up with the egg on its fat incompetent face.

Bit square around the edges.

One of their most experienced players has left. http://www.sarugbymag.co.za/blog/details/whitehead-quits-the-kings Super 17 anyone? This is a joke.

Surely nobody wants to sign for the Kings unless no other team wants you. They are going to be whipped week in and week out.

Mix some ANC political pressure with a good dose of incompetence. Season generously with a few big egos. Stir well and serve. You don't seriously think that things like logic, due diligence, proof of financial backing, contract conditions and other time wasting tidbits should get in the way...

Well the Kings are bankrupt. As things stand right now there is a chance that their players might not take the field because their salaries are not being paid. Their Supreme Leader Cheeky Watson might have been a good political activist but seems he should not be running a rugby franchise...

So anyone can sell a Super Franchise and SANZAR will have nothing to do with it? They have no say?

It it involves a Super Rugby franchise how would SANZAR not be involved?
