Luke Watson has confirmed that he has signed a 3-year deal with Eastern Province Kings starting in 2011.
Watson who left South Africa 2 years ago after leading Western Province to a home semi-final in the Currie Cup has decided to take up the Kings’ offer and return to South Africa.
Watson is of course a product of Grey College in PE and his father is currently president of the union of the EP Kings.
On his Twitter newsfeed Watson confirmed that the offer from the Kings, under the guidance of Alan Solomons, was just too good an opportunity to pass up on.
“I’ll be returning to SA after the completion of this season with Bath. I have signed a 3 year contract with the Eastern Province Kings,” Watson said.
“(It was an) Incredibly tough decision. I have loved my time at Bath. The supporters have been amazing and the Club is incredibly special to me.
“My time thus far at Bath has been invaluable. It has been one of the best experiences of my life and I’ll be forever grateful for that.
“However the opportunity to return home to SA and especially to my home city PE, is one that I have to grab with both hands!
“It’s always been my dream to see top flight rugby established within the Eastern Cape and I am very excited to be able to be a part of this.”
Shame, and they were actually starting to play such good rugby at EP…
gaan op nou weer hulle name verander na die ep puke’s
Aai jai jaai al weer dieselfde storie, manne onwetend het ons weer net n klomp kla gatte geword.
Was die watson nie betrokke met die sogenaamde snorman blou film nie?

Kyk, mens kan hom baie dinge toedig, maar ek glo darem nie dit nie…. hehehe
vir die manne wat bietjie wil lag vir snor
@ superBul:
hoor hoor. Ek dink Watson is goed vir die Kings. MITS hy groot geword het in Eng. soos hy in die SARugby artikel van laas maand gese het.
Watson was nog altyd ‘n baie goeie speler, so check. Daar sal geen tekort wees aan toewyding aan die Kings nie, so check.
Die Kings het spelers met sy ervaring nodig, so check.
Uit ‘n RUGBY (nie politieke of persoonlike smaak) oogpunt maak die skyf baie sin. En as iemand dit nie sien kom het nie, is hy of sy blind, dom, doof en stupid.
Plus… nou kan ons dalk weer ietsie he om oor te lag, aangesien Div se mond so bietjie uitgewas is 🙂
Kom ons kyk eers of die Kings dit uit die 1st Division uit maak, moenie alweer die kar voor die perde span nie.
The few games I saw him play for Bath were impressive.
Whether the majority of supporters in the country will ever forgive his mis-guided comments remain to be seen.
Can a leopard change it’s spots? Possible but not probable.
GG,
“Uit ‘n RUGBY (nie politieke of persoonlike smaak) oogpunt maak die skyf baie sin”.
Broer, asse man ees “geskyf” is maak alles sin! 😉
Scrumdown, Luke aint coming here to obtain forgiveness; he’s coming home to play rugby.
“Can a leopard change his spots” is a Biblical term, so let him without fault cast the first stone.
Ons lees tot sover….
