Replacements: 16 Robbie Coetzee, 17 Ruan Dreyer, 18 Willie Britz, 19 Warwick Tecklenburg, 20 Guy Cronje, 21 Marnitz Boshoff, 22 Chrysander Botha.
Go Lions.
Jammer vir die Kings as span, maar net vir hul bestuur – GO LIONS!
Moet byse, nie ‘n groot fan van Kevin de Klerk nie, lyk altyd of hy Luyt probeer namaak met sy bombastiese houding.
With all the shit going on at the Kings lately – Solomons and people declaring they are leaving before season ends I am loosing my liking for them + that Cheeky factor.
On the other side the Lions are getting their ship of shore again and regaining trust and respect, hence me starting to favor them again.
A possible solution for next year would be that the Lions have first option on any Kings player, thus giving a few players the chance to play in S15 until 2016. Rest can them be picked up by other unions if required.
Kinda of a win-win situation
