The Lions put aside a coaching shake-up by registering a first win in three matches when they downed the Chiefs 23-17 in a thrilling round 10 Super Rugby match in Hamilton on Friday.
And De Bruin is said to have left the team and returned to South Africa for “personal reasons”. Cash van Rooyen, the regular conditioning coach, is believed to have taken charge of the squad. While the Lions hung on to win in the face of some desperate and good Chiefs play in the second half they now have to travel to Christchurch to face the Crusaders this coming week ... and that will be without De Bruin, Mongalo and experienced wing Courtnall Skosan, who also returned to South Africa to be with his ill father.
