Southern Kings Backs and Attack Coach, Brad Mooar, has left the Southern Kings and will be returning to New Zealand for personal reasons.
Director of Rugby Alan Solomons wished Mooar well and thanked him for his contributiion in confirming his departure.
Solomons said there will be no replacement appointed at this time, and that he will be taking on Mooar's responsibilities.
The Southern Kings were back at practice on Tuesday after a two-week break as preparations began in earnest for the Super Rugby clash with the Bulls at Loftus on Saturday 29 June.
Meanwhile:
Eastern Province Rugby will be fighting tough battles on two fronts, as the bid to retain Super Rugby status looms, at the same time as the ABSA Currie Cup First Division kicks off.
Due to the current Super Rugby and Currie Cup schedules overlapping, the EP Kings will also have to contend with not having their Super Rugby players available for the first six matches of their Currie Cup campaign - starting with the home match against the Pumas on the 28th of June.
Director of Rugby, Alan Solomons, says the EP Kings are nevertheless confident that they'll be able to put up a good fight for top honours in the First Division, and the right to compete for a coveted spot in the ABSA Currie Cup Premier Division next year.
The EP Kings play a warm-up against the Kings Academy on the NMMU B-field at three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.
