Dick Muir?

I don't think he is the coach. I think he will be more of a manager.

Very nice.

I hope the lions can pull their shlt together and rebuild properly now.

Glad to see Marius Delport as well.

It says Dick Muir will be director of coaching.

Walter, who is the coach for lions s14 2010 ?

Yes, it's Dick Muir, he was contracted for the next 3 years

Dick Muir is the Director of Rugby at the Lions but will also be head coach for the Super 14

That's an interesting twist. Thanks

I see our previous coach, Eugene Eloff, will coach Boland next year.

I see Ludik and alberts are not practicing with the S14 group but that there names are still on the official group-list.

Anyone know if and when they will go to court?

If I recall correctly Alberts is definitely going to the Sharks.
And Ludik might still be injured but Walter also commented that he is going to the Sharks.

Guess we will have to wait and see.

Did Jacques Lombard sign with the Lions? I see he is on the Cheetahs' and Lions' squad list.

 

[walterl]

Jacques Lombard is training with the Lions but they are still sorting out his contract, he is contacted to Griquas which means that the Lions will have to pay a transfer fee to get him

Damn. He really developed into a good player. Cheetahs could have used him very well at lock.
Oh well. Lions will most certainly make good use of him.

I see Carlos Spencer has signed for the Lions on a two year deal.

Very very nice.

Yeap, very nice

Lions gona be potent this season, they finished the CC on a high last season and with Spencer in the attack who knows.

 

[APoc184]

The real question is if Spencer still has it.
And will he be up to the challenge?
IMO Super 14 is a lot harder than Heineken/Guinness.
He does however bring loads of experience to the table and guys like Burton Francis will do good to learn from him.

 

[APoc184]

I see Wikus van Heerden will join up with the Lions again.

I see a glimmer of hope for the Lions.
