Rising Lions loose forward talent Siba Mahashe has had a fire ignited in him after being invited to the Springbok alignment camp in Cape Town this week.
Unfortunately for Mahashe he had to miss out on being there in-person , along with his teammates, captain Francke Horn, Batho Hlekani, Quan Horn, Haashim Pead and Henco van Wyk, after the Lions chose to stay in Ireland to prepare for their United Rugby Championship URC quarterfinal against Leinster next weekend.
But they were able to attend a session online, and Mahashe admitted to The Citizen that just being invited had inspired him to aim for bigger and better things.
