[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 617572, member: 39190"] The GL seem to be carrying some injuries in the backs though apparently all expected back relatively soon; in the 8 weeks range. I am just concerned that 3 of those injuries are to main players in Elton Jantjies, Lionel Mapoe and Anthony Volmink. I expect the GL to surprise a few visiting teams, maybe, hopefully picking up 2 or 3 scalps but I don't see them faring well in inter-conference games or away from Ellis Park. So, 3 or 4 wins might see them pushing for 2nd last. Doesn't seem like any new names are coming through so a likely best line- up looking like this?; 1 Bees Roux 2 Willie Wepener 3 Ruan Dreyer 4 Hugo Klopper 5 Franco van der Merwe (captain?) 6 Jaco Kriel 7 Derrick Minie 8 Warren Whiteley 9 Tian Meyer 10 Elton Jantjies - I'm sure he'll look better in a Lions jersey and a new year hopefully getting over personal issues; his error count was just ridiculous at the Stormers in 2013 11 Anthony Volmink - electric, hope he recovers well 12 Dylan Des Fountain 13 Lionel Mapoe 14 Ruan Combrinck 15 Marnitz Boshoff - hope this guy builds on a very impressive CC A backline that will hope to make inroads through width and pure pace. I woulnd't be backing them away from the highveld though. Particularly with a rather light, albeit mobile, pack. [/QUOTE]
