For one week only, but bet no-one would have predicted that hey?
If Kings win by more than 8 they will sit on top of the SA conference this week….
@ superBul:
@102 Natuurlik wil ek nog met jou praat my ou maat….en ernstig ook! Maar nie hier nie, wanneer ons eendag weer by die vuur staan,DV.
Dis n moosa lang storie….die gebeure in 1976 en daarna. Ek het maar geen tyd vir Cheeky watson nie, maar nouja, dis algemene kennis teen hierdie tyd al in onse vriendekring, niks met OP-rugby uit te waai nie.
Kings penalty, No 2 on the angle on engagement at the scrum
The Greek going for goal…. and he slots it
Southern Kings 19 / 10 Force
120 @ The_Young_Turk:
They could who knows. Big game next week. Sharks had better play better next week, or at least not fall asleep in the last 15min…..
i love the agro of the Aussies, they read too much R-T, now they try and make the Kings the poephole, and lose their heads
9 Points the difference….
13 Minutes to go in the match
Neewat, die Force is heel gedaan…
The Kings don’t belong to Cheeky. If he should die tomorrow it wouldn’t affect their claim to have a team in the comp. The EP were always one of the important provinces in SA rugby.
Ronnie Cooke en Andries Strauss is n giftige senterpaar.
124 @ grootblousmile:
And Stormers at the bottom…… 
If Kings end with that score they sit on top of our log in our conference this week…. Betcha never thought that would happen…

ek en jy gaan nog lekker hier in die warm bosveld kuier maar nou ja die SPAN verdien nie alles wat nou op hulle afkom oor een ou nie. Cheeky moet chuffed, great voel oor sy fight vir sy streek, gee hom dit
Flok, my Bru will look rather ugly after this match.
Kings get a scrum penalty, right in front
119: super, bedaar my vriend, feite is al het die Leeus lank gesukkel, het hul al ‘n supertitel gewen, was hul al ‘n paar keer in finale en semi’s, het hul die infrastruktuur om superrugby te speel. Ek het ook geen probleem met PE en OP rugby nie, en dat hul iewers ‘n kans sou kry nie, maar nie die manier hoe hul ingekom het en ten koste van die Leeus nie.
Kom ons los dit nou maar daar en geniet die rugby, die Kings speel glad nie te sleg nie, gaan wen hier.
Next week the Bulls will pick up a bonus point against this Force. They don’t look good at all.
Great scrum by the Queens! Maybe i should be calling them the Kings instead
Southern Kings 22 / 10 Force
10 Minutes to play, the difference is a staggering 12 points

@ Pietman:
Naand oom. Ja, hulle lyk goed saam. Ons sal moet sien hoe speel hulle teen ‘n ander span want hierdie Force span is maar sleg.
Nogsteeds, wel gedaan vir die Kings.
Kings all Gee-ed up… and the Force is poer in their moer
Wonder wat sou gebeur het as die Griek gisteraand vir die Stormers gespeel het ?
Less than 8 minutes to play
Nice kick by the Greek king. Keep playing in the Farce half and this game is won. Just don’t throw any wild passes FFS!

ek sal dit die dag los as julle aanvaar die Kings is nie Cheeky se span nie
England (9) 23 / 13 (10) France (Final Score)
Very interesting game of 2 halves. Englands sheer power saw them home. But France looked so much better than their last 2 matches. Poor substitutions lost France the match I am afraid.
@ Stormersboy:
WP sou gewen het gister met Catrakilis, outjie speel n skitterende wedstryd, hy en SP Marais.
Sykes has played well… as well as the replacement loosie, Engelbrecht
Kings ‘n losloot volgende week, nog 4 punte, en dan in week drie nog ‘n maklik game, die Sharks in PE.
@ Pietman:
Ja daar is n paar spelers daar wat soos ou pros lyk.
