Pretoria toe?
Interesting to see Lions Predident Kevin de Klerk and Vice President Neville Jardine sitting with the players bench alongside the field, and not in the Presidential Suite as protocol would normally dictate.
Could it be a VERY PUBLIC indication of the fall out from the SARU vote for SR where the Free State voted against the Lions?
Methinks so.
I suspect that KdK is now hoping that the Lions can sucessfully defend the CC so that he can show SARU a rather large middle finger.
Not that it’ll help their cause. Maar nou ja.
@ Scrumdown:
Nope mate they know their fate and capitulated, shame they know the fight is lost.
winning the CC means nothing nowadays.
