[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 811088, member: 40658"] Okay the reason why I'm asking is that the name Southern Chiefs was one of the names on the Shortlist for SA's 6th Super Rugby Franchise. They first settled on the name of Southern Spears, but later changed it to Southern Kings. The reason why the Southern Chiefs weren't selected was because one of the local Chiefs in the Eastern Cape said that it would be an insult to the indiginous tribes in their area as their Chiefs underwent a rigorous process to be called a chief and that the players (some still members of those tribes), doesn't deserve to be called a chief.
