[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 806936, member: 39190"] In response to [USER=40658]@TRF_heineken[/USER]'s post. Its less of a 'thing' than it was, more so for our parents but the Currie Cup was the pinnacle of rugby in this country in the isolation years and that really pushed the rivalries. Its gone backwards fast and is now a non-entity after the expansion of SR. I still think the way forward is for SA's franchizes to be taken out of the hands of the unions and then either placed under central control of SARU or (my preference) sold off. I can imagine the likes of our billionaires like Rupert, Mouton, Wiese, Ackerman or companies like Steinhoff etc greatly investing in SR if they had input. then split SR into two tiers and bring down the length of the tournament if not the amount of games. The Currie Cup is used as the determining factor for which teams get into the 4 places for SA for SR. As for the Kings, if we have a 'state of origin' type Kings side: 1 Lizo Gqoboka 2 Bandise Maku 3 4 Jacques Potgieter 5 Steven Sykes 6 Siya Kolisi 7 Sikhumbuza Notshe 8 Dewald Potgieter 9 Rory Kockott 10 Elton Jantjies 11 Lwazi Mvovo 12 Jan Serfontein 13 Lionel Mapoe 14 Sergeal Petersen 15 Johan Goosen [/QUOTE]
