With time creeping up on us very fast, we have received our first allottment of Super Rugby tickets, 10 in total, for the game between the MTN Lions and Toyota Cheetahs, which takes place on Saturday at 19:10 SA Time.

Scrumdown, one of our Lions reporters collected them today and phoned me.

He left a very good suggestion that we could give a couple of tickets to some of the unsung medics and helpers who work at the games in the Lions region… and he seems to have just the right people in mind.

I personally think that this is a very good idea to start off with, whilst we search for other possible recipients.

Seeing as this is a South African derby, it would please me to nominate some other deserved Lions and Cheetahs supporters, for the rest of the tickets.

Come on, this is crunch time… who shall we nominate?

Maybe 2 tickets for Lions4ever (one for him and one for Mrs Lions4ever), seeing that he is our other loyal Lions Author on this site. I think that would be good and proper!

Then some Cheetahs should benefit too, and I’m wondering whether Mr & Mrs Cheetahs4eva would be interested in making the journey from Nelspruit, to enjoy the game at the Coke-Tin. Loosehead, you and yours are welcome too, if you could make your way from Slaapstad to Sodom & Gemorrah!

That should about do it, unless some of you cannot attend… in which case, the discussion is open for nominees!
