RUGBY NEWS - Lions flyhalf Gianni Lombard has enjoyed a stunning return to professional club rugby in South Africa, with some top performances in the United Rugby Championship (URC) so far this season.
Lombard missed close to two years of action due to two serious knee injuries, and has come back like he never left.
He had a brief, but successful stint in Japan, where he proved his fitness, and has backed it up with some top performances for the Lions over their opening five games in the URC.
“I have certainly enjoyed returning to the Lions after my stint in Japan. Playing again with some old faces and getting to know the new guys in the team has been good. It’s a blessing that I am injury free,” said Lombard.
“I am just grateful for the opportunity to be playing again and I am in a good space and enjoying expressing myself at the moment.
