The visitors won comfortably in the end as they scored four tries to one against a Kings side that was basically put together in less than a week's time.
The home side failed to take an early lead after flyhalf Kobus Marais missed a penalty after eight minutes. Boland took advantage of the extra player after Kings lock Tazz Fuzani were yellow carded for a dangerous tackle at the end of the first quarter. Right wing Sergio Torres crossed the line for their first try as they took a 7 point lead after a successful conversion from Nico Scheepers.
It was third time lucky for Marais as he slotted a penalty kick to put the Kings on the board with four minutes to half time. Kings trailed by four as the teams went into the break, 3 - 7.
Boland scored a further three tries, the first through eighthman, Zandre Jordaan, followed by Christopher Bosch and Kenan Cronje after yet another Kings player was yellow carded for a dangerous tackle in the air. Scheepers added the extras as the visitors took a demanding 3 - 28 lead with ten minutes remaining.
The Kings scored a consolation try through outside centre Johann Tromp. Replacement Lungelo Gosa added the extras as the match eventually ended 10 - 28 to Boland.
