asenathi feels it will be different for the lions and himself when they tackle the warriors

When diminutive Cardiff scrumhalf Johan Mulder lined up giant Lions prop Asenathi Ntlabakanye for a tackle, there should have been only one winner, but David and Goliath-type contests are what make rugby such a great sport.

The 84kg Mulder ferociously drove the 148kg Ntlabakanye back several metres in the United Rugby Championship fixture in the Welsh capital, and the big fellow hasnt lived it down as the video clip went viral.

It would have further annoyed Ntlabakanye that the not-so-Welsh sounding Mulder is a compatriot from South Africa he went to school at Affies in Pretoria and studied at the University of Pretoria. Mulder also played for Griquas.

I have not heard the end of it, Ntlabakanye said wryly in a press conference from Glasgow, where the Lions play the Warriors on Saturday kick-off 9.35pm. My roommate, Rynhardt Jonker, hasnt stopped.

Ntlabakanye has cultivated a reputation for delivering big hits and his teammates think it is hilarious that he received a taste of his own medicine from the smallest player on the field.
