“There are no more excuses,” star Lions midfielder Henco van Wyk insists ahead of his team's Challenge Cup opener against the Ospreys in Swansea.
The Lions who last season came tantalisingly close to reaching the play-offs in the United Rugby Championship are yet to play in the knock-out rounds but Van Wyk told the hosts of 'To The Last Drop' they need to deliver better returns this season. He explained they have a settled group of players and have no reason not to improve this season.
The centre spoke about his time spent on the sidelines due to injury and his undiminished desire to represent the Springboks one day.
