Flyhalf Elton Jantjies and centre Lionel Mapoe have both re-signed with the side having helped the Lions to three consecutive Super Rugby Finals.

Jantjies was one of just two players to play every single minute of Super Rugby this season, while Mapoe scored three tries in 16 appearances for the side and started the final against the Crusaders.

Both players also have a considerable amount of Super Rugby experience having both made over 100 appearances in the competition.
