The win moves the Cheetahs back into contention for a place in the Guinness PRO14 Finals Series, while the Kings remain rooted to the bottom of Conference B. What the report doesn’t say is that the Kings have been on the rough end of some seriously dodgy refereeing decisions this season and are looking unlikely to be able to lift themselves off the foot of the table any time soon. Philip Snyman will again lead the side after missing the second day in Cape Town with a shoulder niggle, while Justin Geduld and Werner Kok, who underwent minor surgery for knee and facial injuries last month, have also being declared fit to play in Australasia.

  • Analysing Rugby Game Attendance at Selected Smaller Unions in South Africa
    Analysing rugby game attendance at selected smaller unions in South Africa by PAUL HEYNS 12527521 B.Com (Hons), NGOS Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Business Administration at the Potchefstroom Business School of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof. R.A. Lotriet November 2012 Potchefstroom ABSTRACT Rugby union is being viewed and played by millions of people across the world. It is one of the fastest growing sport codes internationally and with more countries emerging and playing international and national games, the supporter attendance is crucial to the game. The rugby industry is mostly formal, with an international body controlling the sport globally and a governing body in each country to regulate the sport in terms of rules and regulations. These bodies must adhere to the international body’s vision and mission to grow the sport and to steer it in the correct direction. This study focuses on rugby game attendance of selected smaller unions in South Africa. Valuable information was gathered describing the socio- economic profile and various preferences and habits of supporters attending rugby games. This information forms the basis for future studies to honour the people that support their unions when playing rugby nationally or internationally. The research was conducted through interviews with influential administrators within the rugby environment and questionnaires that were distributed among supporters that attended a Leopard and Puma game. The main conclusions during the study were the failure to attract supporters to the Leopards and the Pumas local matches. The supporters list various reasons for poor supporter attendances namely: a lack of marketing, no entertainment, the quality of the teams that are competing, and the time-slots in which the matches take place.

Selfs toe ek ’n vergardering oor die Pro 14 in Londen bygewoon het, was die mense opgewonde. Ons het goeie nuwe vriende gemaak en het selfs mense wat wil kom kuier, ontmoet,” sê Verster. Verster maak dit duidelik dat die Pro 14 op’n baie hoër vlak as die Super Rugby-toernooi gespeel word en dat die manne vinnig sal moet aanpas. “Ek dink ons het die Pro 14-toernooi onderskat. Dit sou ideaal wees as die Cheetahs ’n jaar se voorbereiding gehad het, maar ek verstaan ons sou dan heelwat spelers verloor het. Hulle moes aanpas teen die spoed van wit lig, maar hul sal vir seker hul voete die naweek op hul tuisveld vind. “Ons het nou klaar die twee monsterspanne, Munster en Ulster, in die Pro 14 gespeel en ek A few of the players that we will be seeing in action during the Guinness Pro14: (L-R) Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Tiernan O’Halloran (Connacht), dink van hier kan ons moontlik die lig begin CJ Stander (Munster), Dan Lydiate (Ospreys), Ryan Wilson (Glasgow Warriors), Tommaso Castello (Zebre) and Niell Jordaan (Toyota Cheetahs) PHOTO: BILLY STICKLAND sien.
