The Lions are not viewing the changes as an affront. “In the bigger picture we are all preparing players for the Springboks‚” said Van Rooyen. “No team will select a team with the view to not being competitive. We have to focus on our team and not be distracted by outside influences.”Captain Burger Odendaal is also sensing the forward motion but cautioned “the last win doesn't mean anything”.
The Lions have remaining matches in this competition against the Sharks and away against the Stormers. Then they meet the British & Irish Lions and for that they need a clean bill of health. Van Rooyen confirmed the Lions have started a vaccination process. All the teams due to play the British & Irish Lions are to be vaccinated.
Apart from getting a shot in the arm, Odendaal assured the players are playing ball. “Amid all the talk of a third wave, we decided to be stricter so that it doesn't shoot us in the foot. We are fortunate to be playing rugby‚” said Odendaal.EW Viljoen; Rabz Maxwane‚ Wandisile Simelane‚ Burger Odendaal ‚ Courtnall Skosan; Jordan Hendrikse‚ André Warner; Len Massyn‚ Vincent Tshituka‚ MJ Pelser; Reinhard Nothnagel‚ Ruben Schoeman; Carlu Sadie‚ Jaco Visagie‚ Sti Sithole.
