💨 Abstract

The Sharks and Lions are competing for the contract of Junior Springbok star Batho Hlekani, a world champion loose forward. The Sharks, who hold his contract until the end of the year, aim to hold onto him, especially after his standout performance in the recent World Rugby U20 Championship. The Lions want to secure Hlekani due to a critical player injury, making the situation a significant point of contention between the two teams.
