News24.com | Elton hopes Lions’ roar at scrum-time shows ‘we’re good enough’

- The Lions have potentially laid down an important marker in terms of rediscovering their scrumming mojo after a fine showing against the Bulls.
- Despite their reputation as one of the strongest scrumming units over the past five years, 2020 has been difficult in that set-piece.
- But skipper Elton Jantjies hopes the performance convinces his pack that they can compete with the best.
Despite never lowering their emphasis on it, there have been some suggestions in 2020 that the Lions have lost their scrumming mojo.
They were the worst-performing scrum statistically in this year’s truncated Super Rugby campaign and there have been a few hiccups since local rugby’s resumption again.
Yet so compelling was the Lions’ scrumming against the Bulls at Ellis Park on Saturday night that it’s easily the type of showing that could see them go into overdrive again, much like the heydays under Johan Ackermann.
“It’s definitely a performance that can provide us with a lot of momentum,” said skipper Elton Jantjies following a narrow 25-30 loss.
“The pack really stood up nicely in this game. It’s actually one of our strengths. A lot of the chat has been around the set-piece and mauling and how we perform in those areas but we’ve been excellent, it’s just soft moments that we need to address.”
The Lions thrice put the pedigreed Bulls scrum that included Jacques van Rooyen, Trevor Nyakane and Jason Jenkins in reverse, even making the front row pop up.
It truly was a feather in the cap for a pack whose most experienced member is a 28-year-old hooker (and former Bull) Jaco Visagie.
“It’s good that we had this game. I’ve said it before,” said Jantjies.
“There was going to be a lot of learnings. The biggest lesson I hope we’ve learnt is that we really are good enough and that we keep on believing. Naturally, there are still a few areas where we can improve.”
While a youthful Lions combination can still work on playing the percentages better, there’s little doubt that a fine effort up front added a lot of value to an already firing attack.
“At the end of the day, there’s real pressure on that field and you have to lay a platform first,” said Ivan van Rooyen, head coach.
“We’ve scored some blinders in Super Rugby Unlocked already and scored some good tries in this game too. That was down to the pressure we created and may we continue to do that, with or without ball in hand.”
That was no more evident than in the build-up to centre Burger Odendaal’s opening try, where patient phase play and a brilliant pick-up from No 8 Len Massyn saw fullback Gianni Lombard go on a fine angled run and fired a brilliant scoring pass.
There was also a breathtaking score from the gifted midfielder Wandisile Simelane, who stepped and essentially dragged himself over the line after a lightning counter-attack from wing Courtnall Skosan.
“We changed things up after we met under the posts when the Bulls scored points. It was good to see that plan coming together. It showed that we’re adaptable,” said Jantjies.
“Hats off to the boys in the build-up to that try.”

News24.com | Former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi in ‘reasonably stable’ condition in ICU – lawyer
Former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi is in a stable condition but is expected to remain in ICU “for a long time”, according to his lawyer.
Agrizzi’s lawyer, Mannie Witz, said his client was in a “reasonably stable” condition and was still in ICU, awaiting the results of tests on his kidneys, blood and oxygen levels.
Agrizzi had a heart attack in hospital on 21 October, News24 previously reported. At the time, he was placed on life support.
READ | Former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi transferred from prison to hospital
He was rushed to hospital after spending a night in prison but when his condition worsened, he was transferred to a private facility.
The heart attack happened a week after the Specialised Commercial Crime Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court denied Agrizzi bail in a matter in which he faced charges of corruption for allegedly making payments to former ANC MP Vincent Smith.
This decision was later overturned and he was granted bail in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg.

In terms of his bail conditions, Agrizzi has put up his property in Italy, which is estimated to be worth around R16 million, as surety. Should he abscond, he will forfeit that property.

News24.com | LIVE | Global leaders applaud Joe Biden, Kamala Harris election victory
World leaders congratulate Biden and Harris on election win
Democrat Joe Biden captured the US presidency on Saturday, several major television networks said, as voters narrowly rebuffed Republican incumbent Donald Trump’s tumultuous leadership and embraced Biden’s promise to fight the coronavirus pandemic and fix the economy in a divided nation.
As crowds poured onto the streets of Washington and other cities in exuberant celebration and former US president Barack Obama hailed Biden’s win as “decisive” and “historic”, here are some of the first reactions from political figures across the globe:
South Africa calls for deepening bonds of friendship and cooperation
We congratulate President-Elect @JoeBiden and Vice President @KamalaHarris and the American people on your election. We look forward to working with you and deepening our bonds of friendship and cooperation. pic.twitter.com/aajOxmL8KI

UK congratulates Biden and Harris, vows climate action
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson congratulated Joe Biden “on his election” as US president and Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris “on her historic achievement”.
“The US is our most important ally and I look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities, from climate change to trade and security,” Johnson tweeted, after US networks called the race for Biden over President Donald Trump.
In a statement, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: “President Trump fought hard in what proved a close contest.”
He anticipated working with the Biden administration on issues such as the Covid-19 pandemic, as Britain prepares to take over the G7 presidency next year and to host the UN’s next global climate policy gathering, COP 26.
Biden has vowed to rejoin the UN’s Paris Agreement on climate change after Trump abandoned it.
France’s Macron congratulates Biden, ready to ‘work together’
“We have a lot to do to overcome today’s challenges. Let’s work together!,” French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted after major US media networks announced Biden’s victory over incumbent Donald Trump.
Germany’s Merkel congratulates Biden, Harris
“I look forward to future cooperation with President Biden,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a statement posted on Twitter. “Our transatlantic friendship is irreplaceable if we are to master the great challenges of our time.”
Merkel, the first female leader of Germany, stressed that Harris would be her country’s first elected female Vice-President.
Canada PM Trudeau congratulates Joe Biden on White House win
“I look forward to working with President-elect Biden, Vice President-elect (Kamala) Harris, their administration, and the United States Congress as we tackle the world’s greatest challenges together,” Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.
Trudeau has had a frequently stormy relationship with Trump, who once tweeted the Canadian leader was “very dishonest & weak” over a dispute on US tariffs.
The United States is Canada’s largest trading partner, with US$1.8 billion flowing across the border each day.
Spain’s Prime Minister Sanchez congratulates Joe Biden on Twitter
“The American people have chosen the 46th President of the United States. Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. We wish you good luck and all the best. We are looking forward to cooperating with you to tackle the challenges ahead of us,” Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez tweeted.
Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin
“I offer warmest congratulations to Joe Biden on his election as the 46th President of the United States. Ireland takes pride in Joe Biden’s election, just as we are proud of all the generations of Irish women and Irish men and their ancestors whose toil and genius have enriched the diversity that powers America.”
“Joe Biden has always been a stalwart friend and supporter of Ireland, including of the prosperity, stability and opportunity made possible by the Good Friday Agreement, to which he has pledged his ongoing steadfast support.”
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis
“Congratulations to US President-Elect @JoeBiden. Joe Biden has been a true friend of Greece and I’m certain that under his presidency the relationship between our countries will grow even stronger.”
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo tweeted: “Congratulations @JoeBiden with your election as 46th President of the United States. A record number of people have cast their vote in this election. This illustrates the vibrancy of the American political life and its democracy.”
EU chiefs congratulate Biden, urge closer US ties
European Union leaders Charles Michel and Ursula von der Leyen hailed Joe Biden’s election as president of the United States and called for stronger trans-Atlantic ties.
“We take note of the latest development in the electoral process,” said Michel, president of the European Council, which represents the leaders of EU member states.
“On this basis the EU congratulates President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on reaching enough Electoral Votes.”
