Cheers, you too!

So, the MID-WEEK games are done for the Lions tour…

They have won 4 games (New Zealand Barbarians, Crusaders, Chiefs & Maori All Blacks) and drawn 1 (Hurricanes), and the Lions have lost 3 games, so far (Blues, Highlanders & All Blacks – 1st Test)

So the record stands at played 8, lost 3, won 4, drawn 1.

Interesting Rassie and Jaques Nienaber are leaving Munster at end of December…. reasonable timing to hook up with a Super Rugby team?

Bullscot on 30 June 2017 at 4:14 pm

Ahh read more of the story now so Rassie is going back to SA for a national director of rugby position. He seems to be getting lot of support from Munster but they don’t sound pleased with Nienaber
