The following is the full Lios Squad for Super 15 this year:-


Marnitz Boshoff
Andries Coetzee
Robin Coetzee
Ruan Combrinck
Ross Cronje
Faf de Klerk
Steph de Witt
Ruan Dreyer
Corne Fourie
Stokkies Hanekom
Elton Jantjies
Jaco Kriel
Robert Kruger
Ruaan Lerm
MB Lusaseni
Malcolm Marx
Lionel Mapoe
Sampie Mastriet
Derick Minnie
Howard Mnisi
Franco Mostert
Martin Muller
Julian Redelinghuys
Mark Richards
Courtnall Skosan
Warwick Tecklenburg
Armand van der Merwe
Schalk van der Merwe
Jaco van der Walt
Jacques van Rooyen
Anthony Volmink
Harold Vorster
Warren Whiteley (captain)


There are some awesome players in that squad and if I have to select a team from that squad it would look something like this:-


15   Andries Coetzee,  14   Ruan Combrink,  13  Lionel Mapoe,  12  Stokkies Hanekom,,  11 Courtnell Skosan,  10  Marnitz Boshoff,   9  Faf de Klerk, 8  Warren Whiteley,  7    Derick Minnie,  6  Jaco kriel,  5  ???,  4  Franco Mostert, 3   Julian Redelinghuys,  2  Armand van der Merwe,  1 Schalk van der Merwe


16  Malcolm Marx,  16 ???,  17 Ruan Dreyer, 18  ???,  19  Warrick Tecklenburg,  20  Ross Cronje,   21 Jacpo van der Walt, 22   Anthony Volmink


I am unsure about the Lock situation and the bench loosehead prop.   Suggestions would be welcomed.


I have highlighted potential good options for the Fantasy players - don't tell me I am not sharing trade secrets.

Stokkies played at 12 for the Lions in virtually all the CC games he played in.   However - I agree with you about Watermeyer or Vorster at 12.  If they pick Stokkies at 13 - Mapoe will be selected on the wing.
The one guy I am glad he is in the squad is Jaco van der Walt - he was tops when he played at flyhalf for the Lions in CC last season.  .

No he did not he only played the last few at 12 as they had injuries. 

 

What is strange is that Watermeyer is not in the squad.

 

Mnisi was great at 12 for them, so it will be between him and Vorster at 12. Vorster looks a real talent.

They may not have the big name players, but they have good continuity and what is turning out to be a very good coach! I really hope the Lions do well this year!

They lack depth at lock but other than that, it makes useful reading.
