Ek hoop ek is verkeerd, maar ek voel hy gaan min impak hê. Ek voel hy gaan homself probeer bewys en weer beseer raak of hy gaan net nie weer goed genoeg wees nie. Meeste spelers wat so lank sukkel soos hy kom bitter selde terug en met ñ enkel besering neem ek aan hy het baie spoed verloor. Maar weereens, ek hoop ek is verkeerd.

Ek stem saam met jou oor die groep, maar ek glo ook prestasies op die veld in nie ñ ware weergawe van die spelers se vermoë nie. Dis eerder ñ resultaat van ñ magdom beserings en swak afrigting. 

Ons spelers is nie noodwendig sterre nie, maar hul verdien beslis nie laaste plek in die CC nie.

Ja, seker net tot November, dis mos wanneer die transfers gebeur. Dis ook dan seker wanneer Edwill by ons sal aansluit, asook die nuwe signings, indien enige.
Ek hoop egter ons kan hom hou indien hy fiks is.

"We're pretty excited about this group."

The Emirates Lions have today announced a 33-man touring squad ahead of their inaugural United Rugby Championship (URC) campaign.

The Johannesburg- based outfit, face Italian side Zebre on Heritage Day in their opening fixture of the Northern Hemisphere competition.

Head coach Ivan ‘Cash’ van Rooyen believes the traveling group has what it takes to negotiate the unfamiliar conditions the men in red and white will encounter over their 4-week tour.

Commenting on the selections, coach Ivan Van Rooyen said: “We’re pretty excited about this group.”

“As a coaching unit, we’ve been fortunate enough to have time to discuss and plan how we want to approach the URC. This was coupled with a few on-field sessions before settling on a final 33.”

“We expect conditions to be challenging up North, but at the same time looking forward to competing and establishing ourselves as the competition progresses,” concluded the Emirates Lions mentor.

A welcome return to the side for lock Wilhelm van Der Sluys after fully recovering from a shoulder injury. Also included in the touring party are new loan recruits Pieter Jansen van Vuren, Eddie Fouche, Matt More, Morgan Naude and Ginter Smuts. Springboks Ross Cronje (ankle surgery) and Willem Alberts (hamstring rehabilitation) were not considered for selection, so too talented playmaker Gianni Lombard (ankle injury) All three however form part of the greater URC squad and will be available for selection once fully recovered.
