Van Rooyen demands consistency
The Citizen
|April 07, 2025
Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen bemoaned their consistency after a dismal United Rugby Championship (URC) and Challenge Cup tour to the UK that saw them fall to three defeats and almost effectively end their season.
In the URC the Lions were beaten 20-17 by Cardiff in Wales and thrashed 42-0 by Glasgow Warriors in Scotland, which saw them drop from eighth to 14th place on the log.
That put them in major danger of missing out on the competition play-offs yet again.
They followed that up with another poor showing this past Friday night as they went down 24-12 to Edinburgh in their Challenge Cup last-16 clash, to be knocked out of the competition, and now head back to SA with their season hanging by a thread.
