WATCH: John Mitchell says Lions can win Super Rugby

The Bulls' new director of coaching started work this week and is more than willing to chat about South African rugby in general already.


The embattled Bulls’ new era under director of coaching John Mitchell began in earnest on Monday.

The former All Blacks and Lions mentor’s footprint will already be making his presence felt in this year’s Currie Cup, which starts this weekend.

And he’s on a mission to attract big crowds at Loftus again.

But he’s also more than willing to chat about South African rugby in general and believes the Lions can win Super Rugby.

Despite the move polarising many opinions, Mitchell is also positive about the Cheetahs and Kings joining European competition.
