The British & Irish Lions tour will be particularly memorable for Jesse Kriel and his family. Kriel's great grandfather, John Hodgson, played for the Lions on their 1930 tour to Australasia and the Bok midfielder has been left inspired by his exploits. Next month's British & Irish Lions tour will have a special, added flavour to Jesse Kriel and his family. Dan should be in line to play in the opening tour match for the men from Ellis Park. "We’ve got a taste of the intensity we can expect against the Lions, so I'm very excited to be back," said Kriel.
