Super Rugby's Lions and Bulls have announced that former Springboks teammates Elton Jantjies and Cornal Hendricks will have a fight next Wednesday.
Flyhalf Elton Jantjies praised the plans of coach Rassie Erasmus and said South Africa have developed the right systems to be successful at the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
Elton Jantjies’ playing future has been confirmed, with the Lions announcing he will remain with the side for the forseable future.
Lions head coach Swys de Bruin has made a few changes to his team for Saturday’s Super Rugby Round 16 clash against the Stormers on Saturday - not least dropping Elton Jantjies.
Bryan Habana has warned the Lions they cannot afford another loose defensive start against the Crusaders on Saturday.
The Lions have been the most successful South African franchise over the past two seasons and a lot of it is down to the attacking skills of Elton Jantjies. Here he is leaving the Western Force's defence for dead with an outrageous step & finish.
There are four changes to the Stormers starting line-up to take on the Lions in Johannesburg on Saturday while the Lions had made just a single change to their starting side.
