It's official. Cheetahs and Kings to play in expanded Pro14 . . .

Sounds like they're complicating the Pro14 as much as they're complicating Super Rugby. They've also now had to go for a Conference format.

This is not going to end well. Apart from all the extra travel, what will overseas teams think about playing rugby at the height of summer?

Full story here.

 Couple of Pro14 Fantasy comps if anyone's interested in keeping track of formhttp://www.fantasypro14.com/Default.aspx

also Guinness Pro14 site...says Pro 14 Fantasy coming soon with only days to go

I understand that the first Cheetahs match in Pro 14 is on Friday evening - but there is no broadcast of the match on DSTV according to their programme.   This from an SA perspective is bad news for the SA teams in the series,

I will have to look for the Fantasy Competitions - it will be a hard jon top do the team selection as per normal to help our members, but will try and do it.  Will come back on the membership issue.

 ...i wouldn't bother with team lists...just enjoy the rugby
Ulster $1.25... Cheetahs $3.50... and Kings completely written off by the bookies against last years Pro 12 champs Scarlets
i would'nt be suprised if the Cheetahs on a good day rolled Ulster... although they are facing plenty of Irish Internationals not to mention last years Player of the Year and soon to be named rugbys highest paid player former AB Charles Piutau...
I will look for a stream on Saturday morning for that game...

 Everything goes to try to postpone the unavoidable end of rugby in SA.
