Swys de Bruin commits to Lions for further two years

Rudolf Straeuli, CEO of the Lions Rugby Company, can confirm that Emirates Lions coach Swys de Bruin has committed to the club for another two years.

“Swys (de Bruin) will remain at the Lions and has extended his contract until 2021 with the Franchise. Lions Rugby remains a system driven Franchise focused on stability within the structures of our players and coaches,” Straeuli said.

De Bruin was Johan Ackermann's assistant coach before taking over the reigns as head coach and guided the side to their third successive Super Rugby final.

Earlier in 2018, he helped the Springboks as an attacking consultant during the June Tests against Wales and England.
