[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 866920, member: 39190"] Kings are not in the CC premier division. These sides are provincial and player resources usually run deep. Even if those players are on peanuts. All our SR sides' provinces played in the Super Sport Challenge Cup while we were busy with Super Rugby. Western Province (Stormers) just won it last week fielding players like Bjorn Basson and Kurt Coleman etc with SR experience all while we were playing SR. We generally use these competitions to keep the fringe players match fit and get youngsters or players returning from long injury up to speed apart from those that fit right into the 'senior/tier 1' sides. My thinking is that the Cheetahs and Kins will use the Currie Cup for this purpose. The bigger sides already tend to not put in a full tilt effort in CC as is. [/QUOTE]
