The Southern Kings’ place in the Vodacom Super Rugby competition in 2013 was reaffirmed at a Special Council Meeting of the South African Rugby Union (SARU) in Cape Town on Friday. Proposals on mechanisms to identity the four other South African entrants will be considered at a SARU Special General Meeting on March 30.

“The decision to include the Southern Kings in the 2013 Vodacom Super Rugby tournament was unanimously confirmed by the members,” said Jurie Roux, CEO of SARU on Friday.

“We will now look at the options to identify the other entrants to the competition, which will include further discussions with our SANZAR partners on the possibility of including a sixth South African team in the competition.

“The Unions will also be making their own recommendations and the outcome of those discussions and other proposals will be tabled for the Executive Council and ultimately a General Meeting to consider.”

    Ag, it was just a way to appease Cheeky Watson, so he didn’t stick his nose into the coach selection process. Now SARU will spend the rest of the year working out how to wangle their way out of this one – again

    Without any justification. They can’t even make it into the CC Premier Division.
    This is what will happen, SARU with dissolve one of the other unions, promote the kings and make the dissolved unions players play for the kings.

    Horse shit, that is what it is.

    I see that Mitchell is threatening to pull out of their match against the Kings if Solomons plays a second string. He feels that there is more worth playing an internal match. Lions cannot pull out of the match, so in all likelihood, they, too will be sending a second team. Eish, the politicking going on!
