Jaco Kriel is back in the Lions team to take on Griquas in their Currie Cup opener in Kimberley on Saturday.

Kriel‚ who has been absent from the team after the death of his father last month‚ is back in the starting team where he will link up with Vincent Tshituka and Len Massyn.

“It is nice to get some of the senior guys back. Unfortunately he was unlucky to get injuries‚” said Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen about Smit. “We are excited he trained two‚ three weeks uninterrupted. He can play six‚ seven or eight. He gives us options‚” said Van Rooyen. Willem Alberts will be back at lock‚ while the same applies to EW Viljoen at fullback in the place of the injured Gianni Lombard.
