The Lions' dream start to the 2024/25 United Rugby Championship season continued at the weekend when they recorded their fourth straight win, without a loss, to sit second on the points table, with a game in hand over all but the other three South African teams.
Having beaten Ulster and Edinburgh at Ellis Park, the Lions then beat Dragons in Newport and on Saturday edged Zebre 10-9 in Parma, Italy to stay unbeaten.
South Africa's only other unbeaten team going into the round, the Bulls, suffered a first loss, to Scarlets in Llanelli (22-23), while there were home wins for the Springbok-laden Sharks team, against defending champions Glasgow Warriors (28-24) and first-season champions, the Stormers, who beat Munster, champions two seasons ago, 34-19.
