Time Is Running Out For The Lions
The Citizen
|April 08, 2025
The Lions are on the brink of yet another season of disappointment and face an acid test of four home pool matches in the United Rugby Championship (URC) to try and resurrect their top eight hopes to secure a place in the competition's quarterfinals.
They first however have to get over a dismal UK tour, that saw them flop to a 20-17 defeat to Cardiff, crash to a humiliating 42-0 loss to Glasgow Warriors, both in the URC, and then get dumped out of the Challenge Cup with a 24-12 loss against Edinburgh this past weekend.
They have now lost their last four straight games, stretching back to their 25-22 loss to the Sharks in Durban just before their tour, and it has left them 14th on the URC log, six points off the top eight.

Stealing dignity from the grieving
One of the evil characteristics of apartheid and one many South African nonwhite people won't get over easily - was that anyone who was not white was regarded, in law and in treatment, as a lesser being, the untermensch (subhuman) which was the Nazi label for Jews and any non-Aryan.
