[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 777313, member: 39190"] The heading is Kings squad bolstered; [url]http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/kings-super-rugby-squad-bolstered-20160105[/url] I'm not sure how much that'll help. I mean, you can only field 15 players at a time so quality > quantity.. SARU should be looking to get a cash injection somehow and get those ~80 pro players from the North back to our shores. WP Nel is arguably the top tighthead in Europe ATM, CJ Stander regularly makes the XV of the week in the Pro!2, many of our players do the same in the AP and T14 and its not just our forwards. The Kings as is are a joke but we could field extra SR level teams if we could get our talent back; 1 G Steenkamp / S Kitshoff / H van der Merwe 2 B du Plessis / R Strauss / C Ralepele 3 WP Nel / (Koch, Malherbe, one of them at least seems sure to go) / W Herbst 4 B Botha / both F van der Merwes and a ton else less settled players; J Marais is now a key player for Bordeaux 5 A Bekker / J du Plessis / J Kruger 6 H Brussow / F Louw / D Fourie 7 J Smith / W Alberts / A Claasen 8 D Vermeulen / CJ Stander / P Spies 9 F du Preez / R Pienaar / R Kockott 10 M Steyn / J Goosen / G Hume 11 B Habana 12 W Olivier / R Ebersohn / B Barrit 13 J Fourie / DTH van der Merwe / P Howard 14 G Aplon / G van den Heever 15 L Ludik / Z Kirchner / S Spedding Many of those players are lost to SA due to taking up wih other nations but that's three SR level teams right there off the top of my head. That'd go a long way to bolstering some of our current teams. We really need to develop our wings though and from grass roots. Even the Euro teams are picking up on ours with cheap Fijians and fringe NZ players prefered. [/QUOTE]
