Congratulations to De Klek and his team. This looks like a great schedule and should get folk interested.

However it adds yet another game to the SA Super 15 francises. Perhaps they will filed second string teams. One notes that the Lions will play the queens at Ellis park . Unfortunately the Lions will be without many of their players but here is hoping they klap the queens real good.
