[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 541567, member: 48703"] There is plenty of South African quality available, but I would expect if Pienaar or du Preez come back to SA it would most likely be with their former teams, getting those overseas players back won't be easy as I would expect that offers in France, Japan or England are more than the Kings offers. Whilst with these Argentine players they aren't competing with any big team to sign them so they will be a lot easier to bring in. There is certainly the talent in SA for 5 good Super Rugby teams, but it is focused on the big 3 teams, just look at the amount of quality the Stormers have in their backline which next season will probably see Peter Grant, Gerhard van den Heever and Joe Pietersen just making bench appearances whilst worse players like Burton Francis is the Kings first choice #10. The Kings just need to sign the best players possible whatever nationality as their South African ones aren't likely good enough to win too many games. [/QUOTE]
