They play home & away matches.. Gonna be tough but really hope the Kings come through. They need to be playing Premier league if their S16 bid for 2012 or is it 2013? comes through… Comment 15, posted at 20.10.10 10:24:06 by Sportbilly

I don’t know about you guys but I have a real problem with the the promotion regulation games Surely the top 8 should play the Currie cup premier division But we could have a scenario where the Kings beat the Pumas and the Leopards beat the Eagles and thus the Leopards hold onto their currie Cup status and the Pumas would drop down a division costing the union millions in revenue I have no doubt that The Pumas are a better side than the Leopards but if the results panned out like i think they will the Kings and Leopards would qualify and not the Kings and the Pumas. To me it seems stupid that the weakest team in the premier division qualifies at the expense of the second weakest. I watched the game between the Kings and Pumas and the Kings would be able to hold their own in the Premier Division they certainly would not be worse than the Leopards and may surprise a few teams What do you guys think Comment 26, posted at 23.10.10 11:09:14 by Fattmann

Pumas and Kings drew 36-36 Comment 27, posted at 23.10.10 13:16:12 by McLovin

@Fattmann (Comment 26) : The promotion relegation is set-up to favour the strongest side as they play the weakest of the four teams. If the Pumas, the strongest of the four teams can’t beat the weakest (Kings) side then surely they have only themselves to blame. Comment 28, posted at 23.10.10 13:22:39 by McLovin

@Fattmann (Comment 26) : As far as lost revenue, this is where SARU needs to step up to ensure the relegated union doesn’t go under. In the UK the relegated side gets something like £500k as a ‘parachute payment’. On the udder hand Darren I reckon there should only be six teams in the Currie Cup.
