Heyneke rewards Lions players

Finally HM has reallised that he can no longer ignore players from the Lions union. Jako Kriel is in my opinion the best open side flanker in the country on form at the moment. He isn't a crash test dummy like some of the players picked for the Boks before him. Not only is he good at stealing ball in the tackle situation, but he is very quick and can off load the ball in a tackle, As for Julian Redelinghuys, he is a true tight head prop, who not only scrums well but has upped his work rate in the loose. I also think Robbie Coetzee and Warren Whitely both deserve their places in the squad. Now I just hope they get some game time at some stage.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
