    Lol but you saw the Kings are already playing this game down. They’re going to get klapped by a huge margin and then make it down as not their first choice team.

    @ vanStraaten:
    The Kings are on a hiding to nothing in this game, and I am not only talking about the scoreline. They have not been able to or wanted field their full strength side, but to the average rugby fan it will be that they lost to the Lions. If they lose by any margin, it will show their lack of depth. And if it is a huge loss, the players confidence will be severely dented, causing a knock on effect for the rest of the season. And any of their front line players that will be available against the Force will be undercooked.

    I or one will take any win over the Kings, but I want cricket score 103/7 to the Lions
