Cape Town - Former Lions head coach and Springbok assistant coach Dick Muir is suing the Lions Rugby Union over alleged breach of contract.

According to Netwerk24, Muir is claiming R4.6m from the union, formerly known as the Golden Lions Rugby Union (GLRU), after his three-year contract was allegedly ended after only one year in 2010.

In court documents submitted to the labour court in Johannesburg, the GLRU denies the claim and said Muir was paid R900 000 too much during his time with the union.

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