please please no injuries
Rob, the Lions have a subsite (ticket office) at Computicket which seems not to be accessible through the normal site (silly). The tickets are at this link
@Baylion (Comment 2) : Any news on the two injuries you guys got over the weekend?
@Baylion (Comment 2) : cheers, thanks. Will update the article
@Southern_Shark (Comment 3) : Nothing official yet
Heading got me again . . . Thought the team`s been announced! I never learn. 🙄
@Southern_Shark (Comment 3) : From the Lions:
Andries Coetzee suffered a medial cruciate ligament tear (knee) and will be out for approximately six weeks. Loan lock Rudi Mathee has also been ruled out for eight weeks after fracturing his arm.
Three Lions players recovering from shoulder injuries, namely Elton Jantjies, Anthony Volmink and Ruan Dreyer, are all making good progress and are expected to return to action within three weeks.
@Baylion (Comment 7) : bad for them… what are they going to do at 4 now?
@robdylan (Comment 8) : I would think either Martin Muller or Franco Mostert, both having just come back from long term injuries. Not sure what happened to Ruan Venter, he was in the practice squad but hasn’t played in any of the warm-ups
@Baylion (Comment 9) : Muller isn’t a 4, though. Mostert has potential
mmm. wonder if I’ll be able to convince the wife so that we can go watch.
@PTAShark (Comment 11) : you need tips?
