So i saw this article today and guess what we have the Tallest super rugby player in the world playing for the lions at a staggering 2.09m
JP du Preez. Then Oz has the Rory and Richie Arnold at 2.08m and Adam Coleman at 2.04m

I chatted to him a while back, when they last measured him at the Lions he was 2.12 so he has grown another 3cm. By far the tallest rugby player in the world but he is still young and not in the Lions Super rugby squad this year
 
I think he might play this year seeing as the article mentioned him as a super rugby player for this season. So lets see. But thats lanky tall
 
I own the website lionsWorld.co.za which i've been running for the last 20 years (started it in 1996) so I'm pretty up to speed with Lions rugby. He isn't in the Lions Super Rugby squad of 37 players that was announced on Monday so it's unlikely that he will play Super Rugby this season. He is still young (21 or 22, not sure) so still a big rugby future ahead of him)

I'm quite surprised to see Burger Odendaal on the bench, he was impressive against the Lions in Polokwane 2 weeks ago
 
Yeah i would play odendal over serfontein cos he has no form atm. So guess well get a hiding in our first outing thos season with useless rummer also playing instead of Tiaan.
