Thomo Posted July 29, 2013 Share SARU is loosing it Big Time. How the Hell do they want to Field 6 Teams? Only New Zealand is able to field more competitive teams in my opinion.SA and Aus are already stretched in terms of talent.And what about stadium attendance.?Saturday saw th Bulls in a semi final and stadium wasn't full.What sort of support is a 6th team going to get.

Well one thing is for sure the Kings had better attendance in their first year than the Lions ever had.Not saying that they should be there just saying they are putting bums on seats.

JJDT Posted July 29, 2013 Share Well one thing is for sure the Kings had better attendance in their first year than the Lions ever had.Not saying that they should be there just saying they are putting bums on seats. As for attendance the EP supporters were hungry for proper teams playing there, hence the huge support at home. My opinion about SR. I think it had it support and with the current format which are more derby based. You should play all teams in the compitition and the 4 points for a bye is plain stupid. Should go back to S12 format. Increase the CC format to 8 again and the top 4 teams are in the SR, but you should field players from the bottom 4 sides in order to have 4 extremly compettive teams. There may some logistical problems but them we should see proper rugby again because it will be a case of force vs force.The other option is to scrap SR and again play Springbok trials and every second year go on tour for 2 months or so, the other year it is home games. Pick a squad of 35 players and play your Wednesday matches and select a good team for test matches on a Saterday. Rugby will come to terms again as there will be not so much matches and we will see some good quality games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to Satisfy the Pukes.......And whats gonna Happen? Younger Players are gonna leave to play overseas...I don't think the Aussies and NZ rugby unions would be able to host a successful tournament without SA rugby. The rugby itself would be good, however financially i think it would be impossible JGR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 29, 2013 Share EP kings did better than i thought, they won without king puke playing. but we dont have 6 competitive teams in SA. sad but true.This year we had 4 teams that was competitive, Stomers and sharkes struggled but came good towards the end.in AUS only reds and brumbies where competitivein NZ only highlanders where poor BUT... the EP kings can't win the Lions!
