The Lions are hopeful that outside centre Henco van Wyk and a few other key injured stars will come through the last few training sessions unscathed to be selected for the URC quarter-final on Saturday against Leinster.
The Lions are positive that three of their key players — captain Francke Horn, centre Henco van Wyk and fullback Quan Horn — will be fit and ready for Saturday’s United Rugby Championship (URC) quarter-final against Leinster in Dublin.
While they have not yet been passed fit, the news coming from the camp is that they have trained as much as possible ahead of the team’s biggest game in the tournament to date.
After a couple of weeks in Ireland, the visitors are in the final stages of preparation for the knockout clash at the Aviva Stadium (9pm kick-off) against a wounded home side.
Scrum coach Julian Redelinghuys gave an update on the injured stars on Tuesday, saying they are still being assessed. The positive news is that they have been on the training field.
