[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 809998, member: 74121"] Pardon my ignorance but how have the Lions managed to: i) keep their players (when teams like the Kings and Cheetahs seem to lose them more regularly to the big SA teams, who presumably also have deeper pockets than the Lions) ii) promote open, attacking NZ style rugby (when the other SA teams and Springboks are not exactly well known for that and seem more concerned about the set piece) iii) be a success relatively soon after relegation (when every other newer team in the league (possibly barring the Rebels) languishes at the bottom and seems to struggle to make any sort of improvement) Are there lessons for teams like expansion sides like the Cheetahs, Force etc? Or even for the established SA sides? [/QUOTE]
