URC result: Late show by Tshituka helps seal bonus point win for Lions against Cardiff

The Lions have kept alive their slim chances of reaching the URC playoffs with a bonus point win against Cardiff Rugby.

In the end the Lions were the better team and they did most of the playing over the 80 minutes — perhaps too much, because they also made a ton of errors, which allowed Cardiff to regularly relieve the pressure and stay in the contest.
