The Lions will be missing a host of key players when they tackle Ospreys in Llanelli on Sunday, presenting the Pride’s ‘next men up’ with a golden opportunity to showcase their talents under the bright lights of the EPCR Challenge Cup stage.
The Pride made waves in their Challenge Cup debut in 2022-23 by advancing to the final eight, and last season they proved it was no fluke, mustering a thrilling win against USAP and a high-scoring victory against Newcastle Falcons in booking a return flight to the playoffs where they succumbed to Benetton Rugby in the round of 16.
But the Lions aren’t just playing hard; Van Rooyen has been smart in adapting his plans to meet the demands of sustaining a European cup campaign. A prolific goal-kicker and creative pivot, Nohamba’s value was recognised by his South African peers at the end of the 2023-24 campaign when he was crowned URC Player of the Season.
