Van Rooyen demands consistency

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.

- Ross Roche

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.
