The MTN Golden Lions will be playing the Ford Pumas this Friday, 2 September 2011 at Mbombela in Nelspruit. Kick off is at 19:10.
One forced change has been made to the MTN Golden Lions team following their 28 – 19 victory over The Sharks this past weekend.
Following a slight concussion, problems with his ear injuries and the decision to rest the player, Derick Minnie will be replaced by Michael Rhodes.
After the injury Joshua Strauss sustained two weeks ago, he has been bracketed with Warren Whiteley, and the decision on who will play on Friday and who will start on the bench will only be made on Thursday following the Captain’s Run.
