Following the news of Asenathi Ntlabakanyes 18-month ban for doping, the Lions will look to find a new first-choice tighthead prop, starting this weekend when they clash with Munster in a big United Rugby Championship match in Limerick on Saturday 8.45pm.
Ntlabakanye learned his fate on Thursday and if he doesnt win an appeal, if he chooses that path, he will be eligible to play again only in November next year.
The Lions have a few No 3 options, but will bank on Sebastian Lombard to do the business this weekend, as he steps into the Lions team for Ntlabakanye.
