Head coach Ivan van Rooyen has picked a relatively unchanged Lions lineup to lock horns with French giants Racing 92 at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Tshituka, Ruan Venter and Francke Horn continue as the loose-trio combination for the Challenge Cup last-16 clash.Asked about pressure in the build up to this weekend’s knockout game on the Highveld, backline coach Ricardo Loubscher suggested that pressure could perhaps be on the French visitors.
“The biggest thing with them is that, if you look at the French national team and how they play, you can see that style of play filtering down to the domestic clubs. From our point of view, we want to focus on ourselves, but we know that they are a dangerous side. It’s all about expecting the unexpected.”
