The Lions went into the November international break on a high, having secured back-to-back home wins over Scarlets and Ulster. Those victories were much-needed after a rocky start to the season, which saw the team lose three consecutive matches on the road. Despite finally gaining momentum and getting the season up and running, ‘Van Rooyen welcomed the break as an opportunity to address some of the issues that had plagued the squad in the opening months.
“We had a week off and then three weeks of hard work. Some good work, some really hard work. Physical work, Lion's identity work, I almost want to say,’ Van Rooyen reflected on the team’s buildup to the second block of fixtures.
