Oh Tim… How I want to believe that! Being a south african there is nothing that I would want more! But unfortunately I believe that ship has sailed for SA… Not going to talk politics… but you get my point… SA is still an african country and we will walk the same road as all the others…

It is now almost eight years since a visitor beat the All Blacks

I can not believe that an article like this was approved by the editors!!!!!!?????? This is ridiculous and insulting!! Clyde, you will see the truth one day and I pray that it will be in time. I will not judge you for what you believe but then please show the other readers the same courtesy please. I would love for you to comment back on your own article. Why on earth did you feel the need to publish such rubbish that has no relevance what so ever???

On the game they play in heaven

THANK YOU Fionn!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting to hear that comment for a long time!! That is 110% the problem!! There is too much rugby in a calendar year. Super Rugby even have to take a break for June Internationals. Not even to mention the world cup year. Together with the rugby championships. That is just to mention the international stage. Then every country still have their own domestic competitions, which in my mind became an amateur competition because the big names are never available for those games because of Super Rugby, Rugby Championships(former Tri-Nations), June Internationals and the end of the year tours. No one cares anymore if they missed a game because next weekend there will be another one.

They call me The Fixer, and I'm here to fix rugby in Australia

I agree 100% with you, davSA… But the new format was announced and a relegation is inevitable… We can only sit back to see who will get the axe… I truly hope that it will be a fair decision.

Bring on the battle of South African relegation!

I like it!!!!

Dear Loftus… Firstly… I am a very proud Bull supporter…FYI… But likkewaan is right… Their rugby is light years away from being powerhouse… Secondly… I do not choose the Kings over the Bulls. I am simply praising the type of rugby they are playing. Even though they are not facing the NZ teams you cannot deny the fact that they are playing good rugby at the moment. Stop being a typical “Bull supporter” and take of your eye patches… There are 17 other teams in this competition and a true fan of rugby will be able to appreciate the other team’s talents and accomplishments… Even if your team is on the losing end or just simply ‘suck” at the moment…. But with a profile name like “Loftus” I cannot really expect much… Face facts, Loftus…

The way I understand the system is that the bottom two South African Teams on the overall log gets the boot… But like you say… Financial stability and sponsors might make a difference as well. Then I think the Bulls will be on the safe side… It will make sense if they keep the 4 main provinces in the competition but it is true what “biltonbek” said…”SARU don’t know their backside from their elbow”…Well said…hehehehehehe!!

davSA… Yes, the Kings are most definitely taking giant leaps in terms of improvement. But with the new format announced for Super Rugby 2018… bad for the Kings. I believe South Africa will losse 2 teams? The Kings will definitely be one of them? Despite their massive efforts this year… Then the second will surely be between the Bulls and the Cheetahs…

Will the Kings rise in round ten?

I am sorry if I offended you. It was not my intentions. I realize that it was a poor choice of words. I also support a very poor Bulls side for the last couple of years. It is difficult to know that you will loose a game before you even started. I believe the Force is in a building phase and they also lost quite a few players due to injuries. No offence… But I think Lions by plenty… Thanks for sticking to your team. Enjoy the weekend’s rugby!
