Keep track of the live scoring as the Lions take on log-leaders Leinster in what should be an enthralling URC clash on Saturday night.
After making a strong start to the competition, the Lions are now set face their toughest test yet against the only other unbeaten team in the URC competition, Leinster, on Saturday.Looking ahead to the clash, Lions assistant coach Ricardo Loubscher said: “They like to put you under scoreboard pressure, so the important thing for us is to start well. You also can’t go into this match with the mindset of just keeping them out defensively.
Given the close margins between the teams on attack and defence, it could prove to be a gripping encounter, as Leinster have only scored 38 points more than the Lions in their five matches to the Lions’ four, while the hosts have conceded only five points fewer. The sides have met on three previous occasions in the tournament with Leinster having the slight edge with two wins to one, however, the Johannesburg-based side have won three of their last four matches against Irish provinces.Mafikizolo’s Nhlanhla Mafu is reportedly pursuing a solo music career after allegedly having a disagreement with Theo earlier this year.
