The Lions appear to be gathering strength so maybe we will have 4 strong sides lead by the Mighty Stormers!. Cheetahs may surprise if they can get their defence right.

Ex Superport:

The Emirates Golden Lions have secured the signatures of several of their stalwarts - including captain Warren Whiteley ahead of the start of the 2015 season.

Whiteley and fellow Boks Marnitz Boshoff and Julian Redelinghuys have all extended their contracts until 2016, while Springbok tourists Jaco Kriel and Ruan Dreyer have also renewed their contracts at the union.

High Performance Manager Bart Schoeman is thrilled to have secured the services of prominent senior stalwarts.

"Having re-signed these players will certainly add to the confidence and continuity at the GLRU and will assist the Union in meeting the goals we have set ourselves since our readmission into the Super Rugby tournament in 2014," said Schoeman.

"These senior players join Derick Minnie, Stokkies Hanekom, Warwick Tecklenburg, Sampie Mastriet, Franco Mostert and other experienced players in extending their contracts with the GLRU.

"Combining these signings with a host of talented junior players, currently contracted to the Union, the future really does look bright for the Lions."

Additionally, the GLRU will engage in contractual negotiations with selected senior and junior players in the weeks leading up to the start of the 2015 season

Unfortunately the hapless ep queens look likely to to prop up the table.

The Emirates money is talking loud and clear in the case of the Lions.   Plenty bucks to offer great contracts and I do not think their shopping list is complete as yet.

 ...the Lions look like a real threat this year after they dominated WP in the Currie Cup final... but according to the bookies they have a very slim chance in the SA conference...can't find the head to head odds with the Canes but should be a good game...


... sasuke uchiha would have us believe that the Canes biggest problem in the past was their coach Matt Hammet...He is gone now but the new coach Chris Boyd has just coached the Wellington Lions team to relegation in the ITM so could he be any better?

 Brycy my good friend please do not quote weak source like saSUE on rugby matters. I was forever having to correct him when he was here. Letds hope the oak arrives back some time! The Lions were at vitually full strength brycy we were FAR from being at full strebgth. Brycy you must try to keep it real!

Snaspter they are the ep queens and should best stick to vodacom rugby. They did not merit promotion and have stuffed up the super rugby comp via backing from the racist anc. FACT. Down with Cheeky Watson and his brainwashed son- I feel for Luke being raised by a loonie like Cheekie!What the EP queens should have done if they had any pride is shown they deserved a spot. They have NEVER done this. Now with an ever increasing number of very able players overseas we must field 6 sides! All thanks to Watson and the anc! They have done nobody a service.
