Quotes from Director of Rugby, Jake White.
“The Lions epitomise everything about South African rugby: everyone was talking about how surprised they were about how competitive the Kings were this time last year, and now they’re saying it about the Lions.
“Their competitiveness also shows the depth in South African rugby. People thought with all the new guys, the Lions would be no-hopers, but they went and defeated the Stormers by a massive amount of points, and winning a real do-or-die fight against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein which is also quite tough. They have certainly showed that they can compete.”
