Sal baie beteken as ons die ene kan wen, veral met die Saarks wat vasgeval het teen hulle en met al hulle internasionale spelers wat gekies word. ------------- Go LIONS!!!!! |

| Skotse spanne het dalk nie die groot kanonne om voorlangs te domineer nie, maar ek sou skat dat hulle gevaarliker is met bal in hand as die Iere. Tot dusver het hulle nog nie teen Suid Afrikaanse opposisie verloor nie, so ons dissipline en verdediging gaan getoets word. Ons kan ook nie bekostig om foute te maak nie. |

Ja die gaan n taai game wees. Ek sien Edinburgh het nog 4 internasionale spelers laat invlieg vir die wedstryd. Wat dalk 'n bietjie teen hulle kan tel, is die feit dat hulle die week in Durban bly en voorberei. Sal die Lions baie help as dit nie Saterdag reen nie.

this will be a massive test to gauge where we are. Teams Will no longer underestimate us, so they will be well prepared. This sides is strong with many internationals. Don’t forget that Scotland beat England as well. Scottish rugby in general has improved. Will be really tough , however , we are the only side in the comp that’s “wants to” play a NZ style of rugby . We should make that our DNA , our fitness was an issue , but we are slowly getting there. We need to run teams off their feet. Playing at altitude at this time of the year (when it’s warm), is something none of the overseas teams are used to. We MUST use it to our advantage in this comp. It’s just as kak for them to play here this time of year ,as it is for us to play them in Novembers cold winters.

Emirates Lions head coach Ivan van Rooyen has named loosehead prop JP Smith to start for his team’s encounter against Scottish outfit Edinburgh in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship
at Emirates Airline Park this Saturday. Smith comes in for regular starter Sti Sithole who has been rested after a series of matches in the competition.
Hooker PJ Botha and centre Manuel Rass come in for Jaco Visagie and Burger Odendaal, respectively.
“Jaco and Burger were close contacts earlier in the week, so COVID protocols mean they needed to be away from the team to mitigate risk. They will be assessed on Monday next week,”
explains Van Rooyen.
Speaking on Smith’s inclusion, the Lions mentor says the loosehead prop has been rewarded for great performances across all competitions.
“JP has impressed us in both the Carling Currie Cup as well as stints in the URC, so we are eager to see what he can offer us from minute one,” said Van Rooyen.
The Johannesburg-based side, led by lock Reinhard Nothnagel, will look to continue their positive string of results against northern hemisphere opposition, following wins against Cardiff,
Munster and Ospreys in recent weeks.
Van Rooyen however cautioned against taking the foot off the pedal especially against a side who recorded a big win last weekend in Durban.
"Edinburgh were successful last week, so they might fancy their chances up here. Likewise, we've had a string of positive results in recent weeks which has certainly motivated us to
improve on our performances as the tournament progresses."
With the recent announcement by government to relax COVID-19 restrictions, Van Rooyen believes an increase in fan attendance is a major boost for the sport.
“It’s always fantastic playing in front of a packed stadium, so we’re looking forward to experiencing that kind of atmosphere once more with the increase of the number of fans at sports
venues. As a team, it certainly plays a huge role from a motivation point of view,” he concludes.
Kick-off is at 16:05

Ek dink ons mag dalk net nog wen. Sure Rass is moontlik die swakste senter wat nog ooit vir die Leeus gespeel het en PJ Botha die 2de swakste hakker ooit (na Pieter Jansen natuurlik) en hulle hoort glad nie eers op VodacomBeker vlak nie, nevermind CC of URC, maar met die momentum wat ons het, die bietjie confidence van die laaste paar wenne en altitude dink ek ons staan nog 'n 50-50 kans, dalk nog beter as dit. Die Sharks het net beenkop rugby laas week gespeel teen hulle in die reën, met Bosch wat 'n absolute shocker gehad het, terwyl hulle obviously tuis is in sulke kondisies. Op altitude (as dit veral droog en warm is more) gaan hulle glad nie tuis wees nie. ------------- Go LIONS!!!!! |

| Baie gelykopstryd sover met ons verdediging wat goed lyk maar Edinburgh het vir my meer besit en gebied maar nie een van die 2 spanne kon sover die oorhand kry nie. Ons het goed begin skrum net voor Sadie af is, en daar was ook net 1 skrum na hy af is, so sal moet sien hoe gaan die skrums in die 2de helfte |

Ek kon baie lanklaas ñ game kyk, maar kon darem gister 2de helfde kyk. Lynstane het baie verbeter, maar grootste verbetering is beslis verdediging. Dit was wel moer close ñ paar keer gister, maar die geduld, dissipline en struktuur is duidelik opmerklik. Ook beste wat ek PJ Botha nog sien speel het. ------------- Up the Vaal! |

Kyk, ek is een wat haat om oor refs te kla, maar hier gaan ek. Gianluca Gnecchi is seker een van die swakste refs wat ek seker ooit gesien het. In ons game teen Glasgow (in Oktober) het hy daardie drie van hulle toegeken wat kort was en ons die game gekos het, laas week het hy die game vir Ulster gekos deur Ulster se drie nie toe te ken nie. In albei gevalle het die URC na die games erken hy het verkeerde beslissings gemaak. En in gister se game was hy pateties. Moes moontlik 'n rooi of geel vir Schoeman gee vir die illegal cleanout wat tot Carlu Sadie se besering gelei het. Hy het ook nie die hoogvat op Rass gesien wat Rass duidelik gevoel het vroeg in die game. Gelukkig in die game het hy ons nie die wen gekos nie en ek voel hy was maar baie swak albei kante toe. Maar dit gaan my verstand ten bowe hoe hy nie verbeter nie en aanhou om games te kry om te blaas.

| Wedstryd kon enige kant toe geswaai het, maar die span het goed gedoen om kop te hou, veral op verdediging, wat week na week verbeter (kudos vir Jacques Fourie wat baie vermag het in 'n kort tydperk). JP Smith en BJ Botha het goed gedoen as impak spelers die afgelope paar weke, maar Saterdag het hulle (en die res van die pak) ook goeie fondasie gele. |

Ek hoop hulle het gepraat van die "aanslaan" wat hy teen ons gegee het, wat ons onder baie druk gesit het.. forward passes.. skewe lynstane ens? :) Die ref was baie swak, hy het hulle in die game gehou die eerste helfde. |
Posted By: TunaLion
Date Posted: 04-Apr-2022 at 3:50pm
Jy bedoel seker PJ Botha, want BJ Botha is al bietjie oud om nog op die vlak te speel Maar ja, die verdediging lyk al beter, maar dit moet op alle vlakke verbeter, sal help as dit op CC vlak kan verbeter want daar is dit maar swak. Ons sal ook eers na die Sharks game kan regtig sê, want daar by Kings Park is daar nie altitude om ons uit te help nie en hulle het 'n goeie aanval. ------------- Go LIONS!!!!! |

| Ek en my seun was velede saterdag op Ellispark … vir die eerste keer sedert 2019…. Ons het die eerste helfde op die hoof paviljoen gesit en die tweede helfde op die oostelike paviljoen …. Manne al daai losies aan daai kant is leeg … die stof lê lekker dik op daai wit stoele …. Al die stoele onder wat onder dak is ( wat nie nat reen nie) is toe onder die stof en voëlmis. Ek dink nie ons besef regtig hoe swaer het dit met die unie finansieel gaan nie |
