The Lions have acquired the services of three Griquas players and a Vodacom Bulls lock on loan.
Loosehead props Eddie Davids and Leon Lyons, along with hooker Janco Uys, have jetted into Joburg from Kimberley, while Dylan de Leeuw crosses the Jukskei.
De Leeuw represented the Junior Springboks and Western Province at junior and senior levels before signing for Zebre in 2023. He made just six appearances for the Italian club over two seasons and was part of the Bulls’ Currie Cup squad this year upon his return to South Africa.
