🏈The Lions will use their best available players for the rest of their URC campaign, as they chase their main goal of a top-eight finish. TheLions URC TheCitizenSport UnitedRugby Championship Catch up on the story here⬇️
“There won’t be rotation to advance experience or experimentation. Our selection will be based on who we feel will do the best for us.”The Lions will be without a host of senior players who are injured, including star flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse, captain Reinhard Nothnagel and up-and-coming youngsters Henco van Wyk and Francke Horne.
The Sharks will themselves be depleted for the game with their main Springbok stars missing out, but with their fringe Boks available they have named a strong team for the match.Van Rooyen believes that the lack of star power does put the Lions on the back foot, but that they will still be prepared for what they will face on the day.
“You don’t have to elaborate more than the fact that the local teams you play against five to 12 Springboks, and we don’t have current Springboks yet,” said Van Rooyen. “I do think that makes a bit of a difference. But the Irish teams and South Africans are the most complete teams, and they can damage you on attack and defence. So we have to be ready.
