Scrumhalf scare for Lions

By Online Editors
Monday 12 Oct 2020

INJURY UPDATE: Lions have only one casualty following their 16-19 defeat to the Sharks in Durban on Friday.

Lions revealed that scrumhalf Dillon Smit dislocated his shoulder during the opening round of the  Super Rugby Unlocked campaign.

Smit had a scan on Saturday and will see a specialist on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.

Andre Warner and Bok veteran missed the Round one match and made way for Smit and Morné van den Berg.

On the other side of the spectrum,  flank Roelof Smit will return to full training this week.

Once on the verge of Springboks selection, the former Bulls loose forward's career has been interrupted with numerous injuries.

Nonetheless, his return could be a major boost for the Lions, who struggled with their set-pieces especially the scrums against the Sharks.

The Lions travel to Newlands next to face the Stormers on Saturday, October 17.
