MONDAY, 1.00PM:
JOHAN ROUX steered Gauteng Lions to a 46-37 victory over Griqualand West in their Bankfin Currie Cup match at Ellis Park on Sunday. Roux kicked 21 points for Lions.
Gauteng Lions’ coach Dawie Snyman was very satisfied with the team’s perfomance even though they played without Louis van Rensburg. “We were disrupted with the late withdrawal of flyhalf Louis van Rensburg [he had flu], but I will not risk any player’s life and had to withdraw him,” he said.
GAUTENG LIONS — Tries : Engelbrecht (three), Van der Walt and Esterhuizen. Conversions: Roux (three). Penalties: Roux (five).
GRIQUALAND WEST — Tries: Venter (two), De Jager and Van Niekerk. Conversions: Smith (one). Penalties: Smith (five).
