In 2016, the Eastern Province Kings will participate in the Currie Cup competition. The Eastern Province U21 team will play in the 2016 Under-21 Provincial Championship and the Eastern Province U19 team in the 2016 Under-19 Provincial Championship.
In addition, the formally affiliated Super Rugby franchise, the Southern Kings, will participate in the Super Rugby competition between February and July.[1] From 2016, the team is controlled directly by SARU, and has no affiliation with the Eastern Province Rugby Union or Eastern Province Kings.[2]
Chronological list of events
- 2 November 2015: The Eastern Province Rugby Union announced the departure of several players; Enrico Acker, Karlo Aspeling, Eben Barnard, Albé de Swardt, Samora Fihlani, Andile Jho, Paul Schoeman, Kuhle Sonkosi, Claude Tshidibi and George Whitehead all left after their contracts expired, Jaco Grobler and Jan Uys were both given an early release of their contracts and Marlou van Niekerk joined the Pumas on loan.[3]
- 11 November 2015: Following the failure of the EPRU to meet a deadline to pay their players' salaries, South African Rugby Players Association spokesperson Nyaniso Sam confirmed that all contracted players could sign contracts with other teams.[4] Centre Tim Whitehead announced that he would be one of the players to leave the Kings.[5]
- 12 November 2015: Two more players left the EP Kings, with Lizo Gqoboka joining the Blue Bulls[6] and Tim Agaba also announcing his intention to leave.[7]
- 14 November 2015: A fourth Kings player announced his departure, with winger Luther Obi joining the Bulls.[8]
- 16 November 2015: The EP Rugby Union confirmed that Obi and fellow winger Sylvian Mahuza both stated their intention to leave, but also confirmed that Louis Fouché, Carel Greeff, James Hilterbrand, SP Marais, Caylib Oosthuizen, Mark Richards, JC Roos, Jurgen Visser and Stefan Watermeyer have joined the squad and started pre-season training.[9]
- 17 November 2015: The South African Rugby Union announced that they would take control of the Southern Kings Super Rugby franchise following the ongoing cashflow problems.[10]
- 27 November 2015: Loose-forward Tim Agaba – who previously stated his intention to leave – and outside back Shakes Soyizwapi are both contracted by the South African Rugby Union for the South African Sevens team on two-year contracts.[11]

- 4 December 2015: The South African Rugby Union, who took control of the Southern Kings Super Rugby side on 17 November, announced their operational plan. As part of the plan, SARU would operate the franchise independently from the Eastern Province Kings, which meant that they would negotiate Super Rugby contracts with identified players, and not necessarily the same players previously signed to Super Rugby contract by the Eastern Province Rugby Union.[13]
- 7 December 2015: Eastern Province Kings players representative handed a petition to president Cheeky Watson, in which players announced their refusal to play for the Eastern Province Kings or Southern Kings until certain issues were sorted out; these issues included outstanding player salaries, a vote of confidence in the current EPRU executive committee and the appointment of specialists to propose a sustainable funding model for the rugby union.[14]

- 9 March 2016: The Eastern Province Rugby Union confirm that Kings Academy manager Robbi Kempson would be the head coach of the Eastern Province Kings for the 2016 Currie Cup qualification series.[18]
- 10 March 2016: The Port Elizabeth High Court provisionally liquidates Eastern Province Rugby, while a failure to pay outstanding player salaries before 10 May 2016 could see the liquidation order being made final.[19]
