“I think we are at a good stage. The Lions are a special place at the moment.'
Utility back Sylvian Mahuza reckons the Lions‚ who play a high energy game built on brute strength and lung-busting aerobic ability‚ aren’t going to change their ways to accommodate the newbies.“We are trying to introduce the guys to what we’ve been doing here at the Lions over the last couple of years. I think there is also a lot of knowledge you need to learn. We’ve been building and getting better every single game.
“I think we are building at something great‚” said Mahuza who had to watch last week’s near miss against the Melbourne Rebels from the sidelines. “I was disappointed not to be selected. There are certain unique things involved with selecting. We also have a tactic that we want to achieve. It is not always about a certain individual‚” Mahuza explained.Far-flung Singapore’s humidity will test their stamina‚ while the hosts also play a game quick in tempo and vast in area covered.
“They almost have the same mentality we have‚” Mahuza said. “They don’t give up. They just keep on playing and putting the pressure on other team.The Sunwolves have fewer locally-developed players and as a result the men who operate in their red jersey have a more grizzled look.“They play a similar game to New Zealand sides. Spreading the ball to the edges helps makes them good.
