The Lions Rugby Company is pleased to announce Ivan van Rooyen as Head Coach of the Emirates Lions. “Ivan van Rooyen is someone who can build on the successes of past years. He has proven his worth within the Lions Company Structures,” said Rudolf Straeuli, CEO of the Lions Rugby Company (LRC). The Company will ensure Van Rooyen has the correct support system, management team and consultants for a successful 2020 Super Rugby Campaign. Altmann Allers, Chairman and Owner of LRC credited Van Rooyen who positioned himself as the most impressive candidate during the recruitment process. “In Ivan we have an outstanding coach that covers all areas. His extensive knowledge of the Lions culture coupled with his scientific background is paramount in crucial decision making factors.” The new coach said the Lions has been his home since 2009, “and it is all I know.” He added: “We have the opportunity to create something very special. We have a young but dynamic team and a ‘blank canvas’. It is all up to us what we make of it. Standing in front of that ‘blank canvas’, we will establish clear goals, we will decide who will be involved in this process, what will success look like and what tools we will use to measure our success. I am truly blessed to do what I love to do,” he said. VAN ROOYENS’ RUGBY BACKGROUND: Ivan ‘Cash’ van Rooyen joined the Lions in 2009 after hanging up his boots as a player (Lions juniors, Lions sevens, Valke Currie Cup). The sport scientist worked with the junior sides and Vodacom Cup until 2011 and also assisted Wayne Taylor with the Super Rugby and senior Currie Cup sides. He became head of Strength and Conditioning in 2012 and still holds this position. The Lions continued success since 2014 and subsequent Vodacom Super Rugby finals in 2016 and 2017 was also due to the high level of fitness installed by Van Rooyen. He headed up the coaching staff of the Lions in the 2018 and 2019 Currie Cup seasons with the team advancing to the final this year.

| Ivan coached the Lions Currie Cup side in the 2018 and 2019 seasons and achieved 9 wins from 15 matches for a 60% win record. He also took the Lions to the Currie Cup final in 2019, which they lost 28-31 against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. |

Good that we "promote from within", bad that we don't have someone with a really solid track record and experience. It will be very interesting to see the assistant coaching staff. Coach Lemmer was my coach at varsity, he is a very astute forwards coach. Where does that leave WW, maybe he should be the defense or attack coach ? |

Importantly, Van Rooyen also has the support of majority shareholder Altman Allers, who allegedly now wants a more active say in team operations. “In Ivan we have an outstanding coach that covers all areas. His extensive knowledge of the Lions culture coupled with his scientific background is paramount in crucial decision making factors,” said Allers. However, the Lions’ coaching group remains relatively inexperienced, which suggests that the Lions’ commitment towards a “correct support system” means there could be some interesting faces showing up as consultants during the season. https://citizen.co.za/sport/south-african-sport/sa-rugby-sport/super-rugby/2197881/lions-cash-in-on-ivan-as-new-super-rugby-mentor/" rel="nofollow - https://citizen.co.za/sport/south-african-sport/sa-rugby-sport/super-rugby/2197881/lions-cash-in-on-ivan-as-new-super-rugby-mentor/

I don't think AA "having a more active say in team operations" is a good thing. Having too many chiefs confuses everyone. If they agreed on clear lines and roles (which they hopefully probably have)then it could work. But on the other hand Darren, I completely understand why. If I "invested" money and it doesn't seems I will ever get any of it back, I would also want to be more involved. ------------- Up the Vaal! |

Ek sou 'n hoe profiel aanstelling verkies het, met ouens soos Cash, WW, Lemmer etc as sy assistente. Maar nouja, dit is ook nice dat die unie lojale ouens beloon. So sterkte aan Cash, ek hoop hy doen goed! Ek dink ons gaan maar realisties moet wees met ons ekspektasies vir die volgende jaar of 2. Met baie nuwe spelers, nuwe afrigters ens gaan ons dalk sukkel om die uitspeel fase te haal.

The Lions will finalise their coaching structures in the next week, reveals newly-appointed head coach Ivan van Rooyen. The sudden departure of Swys de Bruin earlier this month has certainly stunned one of South Africa’s most successful franchises. The split ended a seven-year relationship between De Bruin and the Lions. The former Strength and Conditioning coach has been with the union since 2009 and his first assignment in the hot seat is far from easy. The 37-year-old has just three months to finalize his coaching structures and prepare for their opening Super Rugby match against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires on February 1. “The first Super Rugby match against Jaguares in Argentina is a big focus point for us. It is important to get everyone ready – physically and mentally,” Van Rooyen told “I think getting our system and management in place very early, the more specific our preparation can be ahead of the opening match against the Jaguares.” He added: “It’s mainly about getting clarity in our direction and our expectations.” To add further uncertainty around the coaching structures, it has been reported that Joey Mongalo and Bart Schoeman’s contracts have not been renewed. While there have been suggestions Lions captain Warren Whiteley could be added to the coaching roster. Whiteley, who has been sidelined due to long-term knee injury, has assisted the Golden Lions’ coaching staff during this year’s Currie Cup season. When asked if Whiteley may be in talks about joining the Super Rugby staff, Van Rooyen did not deny nor confirm the claim. “Whiteley is still focused on seeing if he can return to the field. “During the Currie Cup we definitely used him in terms of coaching analysis – he was a big link between the coaches and players. “But currently he is doing rehab and still learning and spending time with the coaches.” https://rugby365.com/tournaments/currie-cup/clarity-the-main-focus-for-new-lions-boss" rel="nofollow - https://rugby365.com/tournaments/currie-cup/clarity-the-main-focus-for-new-lions-boss |

 Can't have guys like WW/Cyle/Dylan etc being injured for long periods. Although we know WW is in doubt, we really need the others to put in a whole season. |

Let’s hope , I don’t see it as a conditioning issue though. There will always be injuries , that’s why the better sides always have depth. We have VERY little depth. Losing probably close to 20 starting XV type players in the last 2 seasons. |

New Lions Super Rugby coach Ivan van Rooyen has promised he won’t drastically change the team’s style of play, but he admitted he would add a few new things to their make-up ahead of the 2020 campaign. Van Rooyen was yesterday named the Lions’ new head coach following the parting of ways between the union and Swys de Bruin a few weeks ago. The 37-year-old Van Rooyen, who was previously the Lions’ strength and conditioning coach, took charge of the Currie Cup side in 2018 and this year. He led a young Lions team to the final this season, where they lost to the Cheetahs. “The Lions have a certain DNA, a style of rugby that they play, and it would be foolish to change that,” said the new Lions boss. “But, if you look at what’s been going on in world rugby and what’s gone down at the World Cup, aspects like the levels of defence and the effectiveness of a good kicking game are things we will have to adopt and be better at. The reality is there are so many different areas where a team can apply pressure on the opposition and we need to explore all those options.” Van Rooyen said he was starting his reign with a “blank canvas”. “We’ll use the Currie Cup campaign as a stepping stone and a platform for what we want to do going into next year, but we’ll focus to grow a number of aspects of our game; that is the conditioning, the attack, the defence and the kicking,” said Van Rooyen. “We must get creative. This is a new generation coming through and I’d like us to be as efficient as we can be.” Van Rooyen said he and the Lions Company were still in the process of finalising his management team. “I’ll know more in the next week or so. But the exciting thing with the coaching system changing is that there will be an opportunity for us to specialise in more areas and get consultants in to make us better.” Van Rooyen has built up a good relationship with the players, having joined the Lions in 2009 and worked closely with most of the players for several years now. “I just want to continue building on the relationship we’ve formed. We’ve got a couple of new players coming in, who’ve already slotted in nicely, but we’ll look to keep growing the youngsters like Tyrone Green, Wandisile Simelane, Vincent Tshituka and others next year.” One player who’s sadly yet to start the proper pre-season programme is seasoned captain and No 8 Warren Whiteley, who’s still trying to get over the knee injury that ended his hopes of playing at this year’s World Cup. “He can’t train just yet,” said Van Rooyen. “so he’s working on getting fit and is also still learning the coaching ropes and doing analysis work for us.” https://www.iol.co.za/sport/rugby/van-rooyen-wont-change-lions-dna-36375581" rel="nofollow - https://www.iol.co.za/sport/rugby/van-rooyen-wont-change-lions-dna-36375581

I wonder how long Julian will stay involved in coaching as his interests seem to lie elsewhere I never had any desire to coach while I was playing but that’s changed a lot in the last two and a bit years since the injury. I love the technical side of the game, and I’ve also developed a passion for the commercial aspects of it, which Lions CEO Rudolf Straeuli has taught me a lot about. But more than anything, I love helping people build the best versions of themselves. That means I don’t only want to help them become better rugby players, but better husbands for their wives or better dads to their kids or better businessmen. That fulfils me. https://www.sarugbymag.co.za/julian-redelinghuys-has-renewed-perspective/" rel="nofollow - https://www.sarugbymag.co.za/julian-redelinghuys-has-renewed-perspective/ |

That's why I am asking. Julian is a qualified accountant and is involved at the Learning Hub where they mentor the youngsters, especially those who don't have university exemption, with business skills and courses for a life after rugby. He also said in the interview, which was published in September, that he is learning a lot from Dolf regarding the business side of rugby. I won't be surprised if he moves over to the administration side within the next year or two

Soos ek dit verstaan, loop spelers se kontrakte tot 31 Oktober van elke jaar. As 'n speler se kontrak tot 'n einde kom, mag enige unie met hom onderhandel 120 dae voor sy kontrak eindig (maw van 1 Julie af) Anders mag enige unie met enige speler onderhandel, solank die speler sy unie daarvan in kennis gestel het, en sy unie het die reg om enige aanbod te match.

| Stem nogal saam met Valie, groot probleem die afgelope twee seisoene was omkeerbesit a.g.v. swak vaardigheidsvlakke en balbeheer. As jy dit verkeerd kry, maak dit nie saak hoe goed jou verdedigingstruktuur is nie, jy gaan k@k. Pla ook dat drie van ons mees vaardige losvoorspelrs (Kriel, Warren en Kwagga) in die loop van 2 jaar weg is. Die wat hulle skoene moet volstaan, lyk maar na "grafters". |

Transvaal se onderhoude met Sean Erasmus en Phillip Lemmer was baie interesant en dit lyk of die skuiwe met 'n plan was. Sean bring 'n nuwe verdedigingsisteem terwyl Phillip sy stoeitegnieke inbring om die Leeus spelers meer dominant te maak by die "collisions" Sal bai inetersant wees om te sien how dit oor die naweek uitspeel BTW, Marvelous Marvin is 'n onderskatte verdediger. Hy het laas seisoen meer tackles gemaak as enige ander Leeus speler (143) met 'n "tackle effectiveness" van 82%. As Lemmer hom meer dominant kan maak as baldraer sal dit 'n groot verbetering wees

Date Posted: 17-Jan-2020 at 11:55am
| Marvin se verdedigingstats is altyd goed, maar op die aanval is hy vir my ondergemiddeld. Slaan baie maal aan en word maklik in besit betrap as hy die bal dra. |
Posted By: GoLions
Date Posted: 17-Jan-2020 at 12:01pm
| Dit is so. Nie 'n sterk baldraer nie. Soos ek se, miskien kan Phillip se tegnieke daai kant van sy spel verbeter |
