Emirates Lions team to take on the Sharks
The Golden Lions Rugby Union is proud to announce that their coaching staff have all renewed their contacts with the union until the end of 2018.
Swys de Bruin (Assistant Coach Attack), JP Ferreira (Assistant Coach Defense) and Ivan van Rooyen (Assistant Coach Conditioning) all put pen to paper for another two years.
“We are delighted that the contracting of our coaches is finalized and we can focus on the two competitions that we are taking part in as it brings stability and continuity to the GLRU,” said Rudolf Straeuli, CEO of the Lions.
The union is also proud to announce that their Under 19 head coach Joey Mongalo has been appointed as the Defense Coach of the SA Junior Springboks. “We are honored that some of our coaching corps get this type of recognition,” Straeuli said.
Further to the contracted list previously announced, Faf de Klerk and Armand van der Merwe have also signed their contracts in the meantime.
The Emirates Lions take on the Cell C Sharks in Durban on Saturday and the coaching staff has made two changes.
Ross Cronjé will start at scrumhalf for the first time after sustaining a facial injury in the friendly in Polokwane against the Bulls while Rohan Janse van Rensburg starts at centre.
“Both these inclusions are part of the rotational system that we have in place to manage to big squad of players in a very long Vodacom Super Rugby competition,” said Johan Ackermann, coach of the Emirates Lions.
