Kings and Cheetahs to be chopped from Super Rugby

The plan, as we explained, is to cut the number of teams in Super Rugby from 18 to 15 and two are going to come out of Africa and one from Australia. The Australians are working through the most shambolic process and who knows where their axe will fall, but in Africa, the story is different.

Their decision has, supposedly, already been made and the poorly performing Kings and Cheetahs are both going to be booted out of Super Rugby.
