To secure top Under 19 players for 2018 has also been a key objective for the Lions Rugby Company.

Only after signing “home-grown” players in key positions did we go out to fill the gaps with the next best”.
“We have a few negotiations still outstanding but are proud to welcome the following players to the Lions Rugby family,” he said.
