Jake White, who has been consulting with the Lions in this season’s Currie Cup, caused quite an uproar within the Griquas’ camp when he contacted Griquas lock Jacques Lombard and enquired whether he would be interested in being Simon Shaw’s lock partner in next season’s Super 14.

Lombard recently extended his contract with the Kimberley team to 2011, but this doesn’t prevent him from negotiating with the Lions to play for them in the Super 14. This caused quite a disruption in the Griquas’ preparation for saturday’s clash against the Blue Bulls, as Lombard has been negotiating with his own union while the rest of the side have been preparing for saturday’s clash.

Lombard has been one of the stand out players for the Griquas in their very successful Currie Cup campaign. He is a contender to play for the Cheetahs in the 2010 Super 14, but the prospect of pairing up with the likes of Shaw, must be a huge drawing card for the  young star.

With Jake White making the call to young Lombard, this could be an indication that he is in the running for the Lions’ Super 14 coaching position, a position that has received a couple of impressive applications.

    Dis waarom ons ons seewater se temperatuur so rondom 13 grade reguleer. Die karre roes nie naastenby so baie soos in Durbs nie 🙂

    Duidelik was van die mense wat hier blog nog nie deur die hele Vrystaat en Transvaal nie.

    Daar is ook berge in FS en noorde toe. Met die asemrowendste uitsigte in die land. Die see? Wel Natal is nie so ver nie. En daar kan jy actually swem in die see.

    Nee wat, Kaapstad lyk mooi op prentjies, maar dis nie so great plek soos almal se nie. Die ongeskikste weer in die hele land.

    En die beste wyne kom uit die Noord Kaap. Serious!

    @SA Barbarians – Yes :beer:

    Al gehoor van die Drakensberge? Tafelbergie kan nie rerig kersvashou nie.

    BUT, ek dink die hele RSA is mooi. Die beste plek vir my is die Karoo. Very underrated.

    @SA Barbarians – en dan is die Gautengse mynhope natuurlik selfs gewilder as Egipte se piramides.

    Die toeriste vertrap mekaar daar om foto’s te neem 🙂

    Grap sommer.. hehehe

    More Ash lekker dag in die Kaap nê? Hoflike weer wat ons het om die natuurskoon te komplimenteer 🙂

    Think it would be fantastic for young Lombard to be able to play in the Super 14 and i am sure it would be a dream come true for him and knowing he is getting recognition for playing well.

    Wait until the S H A R K S buy young Dewalt Potgieter then there will be gnashing of teeth and plenty snot and trane. 😥

    en soe ka mens aangaan………

    Interesante verskynsel dat die “grootste” wynkenners in die land in Noordwaarts gesetel is, is dit nie? ‘n Maandelikse bottel of twee van die wynklub (se soetwyn) moet moerse fynproewerswaarde toevoeg. Miskien moet ons ook maar begin bestel in plaas van om by die kelders te gaan proe ens. 🙂

    My Natalse besoekers reken mos droë wyn is sleg en suur! Faaark!!! 🙂

    @SA Barbarians – Hanepoot is vir hulle “droog, verfrissend en pikant” 🙂
