Southern Kings hook another big fish with Guinazu

THE Southern Kings landed another big fish when they signed versatile Argentine international front row forward Eusebio Guinazu yesterday to boost their squad ahead of their Super Rugby debut next year.

News of the big-money signing was released in Argentina and France where the 30-year-old Guinazu, who can be deployed as either a prop or hooker, has been a prominent member of the Toulouse Rugby Club.

"I am excited to say that Eusebio will be joining us, because we have been working hard on this deal for some time. He is a player of international class who will add great value to our team," Kings chief executive Anele Pamba said yesterday.

It was also confirmed by Pamba that former Leopards and Lions hooker Edgar Marutlulle would be joining the Kings.
