“Each guy is a leader in his position and that makes it easy‚” forwards coach Phillip Lerm tried to put a spin on the gloom.'
Both the Lions‚ and the Bulls whom they meet in a Super Rugby clash at Ellis Park on Saturday‚ will be without their regular leaders but the hosts believe they will be able to absorb the loss of their inspirational captain.
“In the line-out the number five lock controls it. That will never change. Wazza’s we will miss. He brings that calmness and he’s a captain that gives solutions. “Warren is a big loss for us. We just have to keep going. On other occasions when he’s been out Jaco Kriel took over. There are a lot of leaders. Now we need to grow stronger and play for Warren‚” said Smith.
The team‚ however‚ could have done with more direction as the game slipped from their grasp in the second half last weekend.“I’m not sure yet. The coach will make that call on Thursday.”

As transnational trafficking networks continue to exploit endangered species to the point of near extinction, it is time to get serious about wildlife crime. Organised criminals have built their business model around those who poach and those who move illicit shipments across borders. Wildlife crime is therefore much more than a conservation problem, and until it is addressed from every angle, the trade will continue.
