Span opgedateer. Ons lyk maar baie lig en onervare in die agterlyn. Glad nie seker of hierdie span opgewasse is vir die taak nie

STARTS FOR OOSTHUIZEN, DU PLESSIS WHILE MAFURA RETURNS FOR LIONS KIMBERLEY TRIP
The Fidelity ADT Lions travel to Kimberley this weekend ahead of their Round 5 clash against the Suzuki Griquas. Kick off at the Suzuki Stadium on Sunday is at 15:00.
Head Coach Mziwakhe has made a combination of five changes to his starting XV after his side went down 22-35 to the Hollywoodbets Sharks last week in Johannesburg. The Lions Currie Cup
mentor says they are keen to making amends for his side’s performance last week at home by steadily getting back to the winning ways.
Lock Etienne Oosthuizen starts alongside Raynard Roets while Renzo du Plessis forms a formidable second row consisting of Jarod Cairns- who moves to seven flank, with Ruhan Straeuli pushing
behind the scrum.
Fresh from international duty for his home country of Zimbabwe, wing Tapiwa Mafura occupies the left wing with Boldwin Hansen on the right. A positional switch for Kelly Mpeku at outside
centre for the injured Manuel Rass. The bench sees the return of Darrien Landsberg from a calf strain.
“We’re excited for the trip to Kimberly. We are looking forward to making amends for our performance and result from last week and hopefully get back to winning ways,” said Nkosi.
“It’s important that we put in a quality performance to obtain a good result. We were thorough in our review and were able to point out aspects of our game that let us down.”
“We look forward to going up against an ably prepared Griquas team who kept us on our toes here at home two weeks ago, so there’s no doubt it will be a good game for everyone. We are
intent on making sure that collectively we keep fighting for this campaign,” he concluded.

Nico Steyn was een van ons swak skakels laas week, hoop dat hy minder goeie balbesit wegskop en dat sy hangskoppe beter uitgevoer word. Griekwas is 'n beter span as wat die logs aandui. Hulle het 'n goeie lostrio met 'n stewige middevel en gevaarlike driekwarte.
