The Lions are desperately looking for answers after another chastening defeat while counting the cost of continued injuries after their 33-3 United Rugby Championship URC drubbing at the hands of Munster.
So adding Hendrikse and Van Wyk to that growing list will come as hammer blows for the team and they will be hoping for a promising prognosis when they are eventually assessed.
“We probably didn’t get the reward we deserved after that third repeated scrum,” explained Van Rooyen. “At stages we managed our territory, but on other occasions we overplayed a bit. Early in the second half we forced an attacking offload and ended up back in our own half, so the errors were expensive.”
