Lions secure a commanding 60-10 victory against the Dragons at Ellis Park, showcasing their strength and skill as they advance to the Challenge Cup round of 16
Manuel Ross of the Lions scores a try during the European Rugby Challenge Cup match against the Dragons at Emirates Airlines Park on Saturday. BackpagePixThe Lions put the Dragons to the sword with a dominant 60-10 win at Ellis Park yesterday to swoop into the round of 16 of the Challenge Cup.
Lions skipper Francke Horn made the most of space down the right wing to dot over in the corner after the Dragons defenders had been sucked into the middle. Francis converted to make the score 10-3. As usual, prop Asenathi Ntlabakanye was a menace in the scrums and with his general play as the Lions played at a fast tempo that never really allowed the Dragons to settle. A storming Ruan Venter try in the 22nd minute, off another brilliant Jonker offload, was a reminder of how much the Bok flank had been missed.
