Huge motivation for young Lions in Preparation Cup
Share
JOHANNESBURG - There are no points to gain for the Lions, no need to score four or more tries, no standings to climb, no playoff spots and home final to secure, or trophy to lift, but rest assured, there is still a helluva lot to play for today.
From the start of these preparation matches, it has always been the intention of Lions head coach Ivan van Rooyen and his fellow collaborator Mziwakhe Nkosi to introduce the younger members of the union to the senior set-up.
Against the Eastern Province Elephants, as was the case against the Pumas, that will be no different, but it will in all probability be the last time the Lions run out with such a young team.
Another chance for the Lions cubs to bare fangs against Eastern Province
JOHANNESBURG - It is all a part of the plan .
As expected, the Lions announced a matchday squad yesterday brimming with the union s youngsters for their second preparation match against Eastern Province.
It is arguably their most inexperienced side, the several changes to the team affording an opportunity to the team s young guns to run out in Gqeberha tomorrow (kick-off 4.45pm) to stake a claim for selection later in the season.
And both head coach Ivan van Rooyen and Mziwakhe Nkosi, the Lions Under-20 coach, were clear in what they expected from their young stars.
