The Lions are hoping to turn their fortunes around against Welsh side Ospreys when they battle it out at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea on Sunday as the Challenge Cup (EPCR) competition kicks off this weekend.
Last season the Lions went down twice to Ospreys, in the Challenge Cup and in the United Rugby Championship, so they will be desperate to return to winning ways against a team that they should be expected to beat.
Their first game against Swansea was in the Challenge Cup at Ellis Park and going into the final eight minutes of that game the Lions held a comfortable looking 28-17 lead, only for the Welsh visitors to stun them with three late converted tries to steal a 38-28 win.
