Re: Royal XV vs Lions
I'm guessing these guys will lambs to the slaughter against the Lions. The Griquas are a 2nd rate Currie Cup team and the make up the bulk of the team. On the other hand I bet the will be physical like all of the SA teams so there could be the odd injury.
Re: Royal XV vs Lions
Anyone going to this game? I'm looking for a lift. I'll be in Joberg.I'll buy you a pint. Also might have a spare ticket.

Re: Royal XV vs Lions
Naas Olivier is the man to watch for here.
Plays 10 for the Griquas in the Currie Cup.
Its only a matter of time before a larger union picks him up. Very exciting talent

Re: Royal XV vs Lions
Don't know much about these guys, but I'm presuming these are "Dutchmen" to Luke Watson? If so, can't imagine too many lambs in their team. These are the games you worry about, with journey men pros looking to make a name for themselves. As Darce said, some play Currie Cup rugby, which is starting soon, so fitness won't be an issue. I'd imagine these boys will be good scrummagers, huge back rowers, pace out wide and will have a very partizan home crowd behind them.
Some cracking names in their XV though!

Re: Royal XV vs Lions
Apparently they're not even a Currie Cup standard side. Lions really should destroy them.

Re: Royal XV vs Lions
Because this team is so outclassed there is a chance that they will go out there just to smash up the lions and start fights. Hope no one gets injured.

Boy we all got that one wrong.
Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly. / Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore. / I don't care what they say about us anyway.
Re: Royal XV vs Lions
Improvement needed.
Maybe this will give them the focus they need and a much need South African overconfidence in the first test.

Fair play, you got this one spot on
Re: Royal XV vs Lions
This could be a blessing in disguise- they'll up the ante now no doubt. First match nerves are now gone and the aggression, one would hope, will rocket from here on out..
