I would like to say that I like what the Lions are doing at the top…Board and coaching levels.
It looks like they are getting the structures right there first, and in my opinion its a top down process, so as insane as Adam may sound…sorry Adam…I do think that with Dick Muir and Jake White in the fold, this Lions team may well spring a few surprises…perhaps not this Super season, but perhaps even towards the business end of the Currie Cup.

Natal supporter!

Hi Ariel

Haha…probably a bit wishful on my part. If they finished 8th I think that would be a good performance. If they finished any higher, I would be ecstatic but I don’t see it happening. 10th would be the most realistic. The teams that they can beat:

Cheetahs, Reds, Force, Highlanders.

Thanks for the comment.

Is that wishful thinking or a true assessment of the Lions’ ability Adam?

Going to have to disagree when it comes to the Bulls. Somehow, I don’t think they will be as dominating as before. They will do well to finish in the top four, but won’t go any furhter.

Lions will surprise.
