The Lions were the last SA side in action this weekend and the search for their first win continues.
The Lions are still winless after losing to Benetton on Sunday afternoon. Picture: Luca Sighinolfi/INPHO/ShutterThe Italian side got an early converted try through Tonga international Malakai Fekitoa, which put the Lions on the back foot from the off, but they never panicked and competed well.
To get points on the board, Lions flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse kicked a penalty. That gave the Lions confidence, and they went in search of a try but fell short and could not get past the Benetton defence when 5m out. The home side held on to their 7-3 lead heading into the interval.
