First place to publish the score was here on SArugby.com/
The editorial on this site has really stepped up their game and becoming known for quality content.

Free State avoid the drop
Oct 26,2012
Written by: SARugby.com EditorFree State Cheetahs retained their Currie Cup Premier Division status with a 16-6 win against the EP Kings in Port Elizabeth.
The visitors all but secured their place in their first play-off match in Bloemfontein, and only needed a single bonus point in the second encounter.
The Kings, however, produced a much better performance and were able to compete in the second fixture.
The home side led 6-0 for most of the game and only a man short on defence created the overlap for the visitors to score the only try of the game.
The Kings opened the scoring in the fourth minute through a George Whitehead penalty. Cheetahs fly-half Sias Ebersohn missed two penalties in the first 30 minutes, putting the visitors under even more pressure.
The turning point, it seemed, came in the 32nd minute when Kings scrum-half Noel Oelschig was red carded for a punch.
The Cheetahs looked more settled in the second half and put together some probing attacks. The visitors scored their first points on the hour mark, to reduce the deficit to three points through a penalty.
It proved to be the catalyst for Naka Drotske's troops, as Ebersohn scored in the corner in the 62nd minute after the Kings ran out of steam with one man short on the defence.
Scheepers converted and later slotted two penalties to seal the deal for his team.

Pens: Whitehead 2

I watched the game and was a perturbed with what I saw. .Hitting a player with the fist why he is defenceless and the ref is out of sight is really not on. Aside from that there was two armless tackles made that led to serious injuries of opponents.
The Queens must clean up their game otherwaie they will never have 15 players on the field of play throughout their matches. What I saw was not rugby - it was apparent that the Queens were more interested in playing the man and not the ball - bad news that one.
However, history was created here - a team that cannot qualify to play in the Premier Deivison of the CC - is now to represent SA in the Super Series in 2013. That really is a bad situation.

When the British/Irish Lions toured I remember EP/Kings were over physical. They seemed more intent on hurting people than winning. Although they did put on a competitive performance. Dewet barry was ruthless in his tackles and lucky to not be sent off.
