Most of the Lion players will return to play in the relegation/promotion match against the Kings and CC rugby for the Lions. At the moment the Lions look like retaining the CC.See Paarl! I told you that Jantjies would go to the Stormers!
Funny thing is, all the players are going everywhere BUT the Kings. So the Stomers, Bulls, Sharks and Cheetahs get stronger at the expense of the Lions, while the Kings do..umm, help me out here Paarl, who exactly will be playing for the Kings?
I think I know who will be playing the Lions for a spot in super rugby in 2014..
I also thought that the Kings were there to develop talent on the Eastern Cape. Yet they sign an Argentinian and a kiwi.
Then the SA conf wont be too dissimilar to the Oz one then?All 3 would struggle to make most Super rugby 22s. Kings are gunna be woeful.
SANZAR well Aus/NZ should be very concerned about what this means for them. The other 4 SA teams are given a massive advantage now.

Been through this before, the Aus conference is the more competitive than the SA one. Try again.
Competitive for the wooden spoon yeah. While its clear that the Lions won that award, I do see a cluster of Oz Flags loitering at the bottom of the table.
Stormers team will look next year:
Taute, Habana, JdJ, JdV, Aplon, Jankies, Duvenhage, Vermeulen, Kolisi, Burger, Bekker, Etsebet, Malherbe, Liebenberg, Ginga

Do you mean Pat Cilliers? I seem to remember reading he had signed for the Stormers. If so, he will jump ahead of Malherbe and start at THP IMO. Malherbe and Kitshoff are both very promising young props but they still have a long way to go and I think Cilliers would be stronger than Malherbe at this stage. Thoughts?If you can't win the cup with that team I want video of you jumping off Table Mountain. With sound.
And you got a proper prop on the bench as well.
Malherbe is doing great at the moment. He and Ginga makes a massive differense to WP scrum compare to Carstens and Brokkie. I dont know Cilliers that well. Would rather have take Jacobie back. WP also have JC Kritzinger. Just when he get back on the pitch he get injured. Also a strong fatty and can pack down both sides.Do you mean Pat Cilliers?

maku came from the Brutes to the lions? WP may get Callie back also. He and Malherbe packed down for Paarl Boishaai on their day.Didnt Maku start a number of games for the Lions (before he moved to the Bulls)
Bright prospects move up in the ranks rather quickly, and Maku has been around for at least 3/4 seasons now?
Maku moved from Bulls to Lions and was the starting hooker at the Lions (including in their Currie Cup triumph last year IIRC) until he got injured. He got injured in pre-season or soon after this year and missed the Lions' Super Rugby Campaign.Didnt Maku start a number of games for the Lions (before he moved to the Bulls)
