Lions and Springbok duo Lionel Mapoe and Ruan Combrinck have been linked with moves to French club Stade Français.



Last week, it was confirmed that former Junior Bok scrumhalf James Hall would be joining former Bok coach Heyneke Meyer at Stade on a two-year deal, and it appears the French club are set to continue their recruitment drive.

Over the last few days, reliable reports emerged from France to suggest that both Mapoe and Combrink would soon be making the move to France, which was further highlighted in Sunday paper Rapport.

The Lions have yet to comment on such reports, but last week did at least have some good news to share as winger Courtnall Skosan confirmed his commitment to the Johannesburg-based side.
