the Lions Preparations for Saturday’s Super Rugby Unlocked match against the Cheetahs have been halted after four of their players tested positive for Covid-19.
The Johannesburg franchise said the players, who were not named, were removed from the team preparing for Saturday’s game at Ellis Park.
A statement from the Lions read: “The team is put to the test every week. These players have been eliminated from the squad.
“All protocols have been followed and relevant parties have been informed.”
The Johannesburg men are desperate for a victory, having started their campaign with narrow losses to the Sharks in Durban (19-16) and the Stormers in Cape Town (23-17).
The Lions team will be named Thursday, and Saturday’s game at Ellis Park is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
