I thought Cheetahs and Kings were both pulling out. So back to
Pro12.

Good, it makes perfect sense and would increase revenues better
time zones.
Who would not look forward to an away weekend in SA for a? Euro
Quarter final!
Bring it on.

Southern Kings are not going to play in any competitions in 2020
as their finances were hit worse than most during the pandemic
when a planned takeover fell through. The Cheetahs won't play in
Pro14 in 2020 due to the issues with cross-border travel at the
moment. They're in discussions about 2021 and I guess that what
happens to the SA teams will depend a lot on whether NZ and Aus
decide to set up their mooted Trans-Tasman competition to
replace Super Rugby.
