Wandisile Simelane has finally cracked the nod in the Lions’ starting line-up for Saturday’s Super Rugby clash against the Melbourne Rebels.
The Lions‚ with their backs to the wall following defeat to the struggling Waratahs last week‚ have made three changes to their starting line-up and two to their bench for their second match on their Australasian tour.
However‚ his absence from the Lions starting team‚ or at times the match day 23‚ has left some of the country’s leading rugby brains baffled.Another welcome entry into the starting line-up is barrel chested flanker Willem Alberts who has been used sparingly this season. Lions line-out consultant Warren Whiteley is also too aware of Alberts’ aerial abilities in the set-piece.
"He has been quality and has made a difference in this group. We are excited to see him because he will make it count‚” said Whiteley.Despite the fact that the Lions have won just one of their four matches‚ Whiteley‚ the former captain believes there is no additional pressure on the team to get the job done this week."On tour we’ve really enjoyed ourselves and come closer as a group. We’ve worked hard this week on one or two areas. The guys are in good spirits‚” Whiteley assured.
