Cape Town - An interesting addition to the Lions' Super Rugby squad is the inclusion of coach Johan Ackermann's son, Ruan.
The Lions on Tuesday announced their squad for the 2016 Super Rugby season.
Ruan Ackermann, 19, has featured for the Lions' junior teams as well as their Vodacom Cup side.
Unlike his famous father, who played 13 Tests at lock for the Springboks, Ackermann junior is a loose forward.
The Lions, the 2015 Currie Cup champions, finished second in this year's South African Super Rugby conference and eighth in the overall standings.
