Lions eye the log nervously

They are still in the hunt for a play-off spot, but if they come away from their next tour match against Glasgow Warriors in Scotland without any points, it will leave them with a lot to do in their home run to finish the pool phase.

Things could have been so different, if the Lions had managed to win their last two games against the Sharks in Durban and Cardiff, having been well in the fight in both matches before going down 25-22 and 20-17 respectively.
