Baywatch out. Rookie Kriel rushed over to NZ
The MTN Lions will be playing the Hurricanes in Wellington tomorrow morning (Saturday, 4 June 2011) at 7:30am (South African time).
Due to a family bereavement, Cobus “Baywatch” Grobbelaar is returning to South Africa this evening and Jaco Kriel will join the team in New Zealand this afternoon.
