Doogz and Jesse: Midfield maestros
Damian de Allende and Jesse Kriel will break the Springbok midfield partnership record held by Jean de Villiers and Jaque Fourie when they run out for their 30th Test together on Saturday.
Damian de Allende and Jesse Kriel will break the Springbok midfield partnership record held by Jean de Villiers and Jaque Fourie when they run out for their 30th Test together on Saturday.
On this day in 2004, Jaque Fourie scored a sensational try in his first Test start on the wing to help the Springboks claim a series victory over Ireland in Cape Town.
Jaque Fourie said the Lions know what’s at stake against the DHL Stormers on Saturday, as Morne van den Berg backs the visiting forward pack to dominate the set-piece battle.
Regarded as one of the finest centres of his generation, Jaque Fourie was a powerful presence in midfield for the DHL Stormers.
Jaque Fourie has called on the Lions to stand and deliver against the traditional @Vodacom #URC powerhouses to qualify for the playoffs for the first time.
Assistant coach Jaque Fourie has emphasised the importance of seizing opportunities in the Lions’ second match of their European tour against Benetton on Sunday.
With 13 days to go until the 2023 Rugby World Cup opener, SARugbymag.co.za looks at the greatest outside centres to wear the green and gold at the tournament.
Defence coach Jaque Fourie could reportedly opt out of his new deal with the Lions for an offer from a Japanese club.
The Lions have invested in defence, signing a key member of the coaching staff to a two-year extension.
The success of the Lions youngsters in the 2022-23 Vodacom United Rugby Championship can be attributed to the efforts of several highly decorated Springboks.
