On Sunday, the Lions face the Dragons at Emirates Airline Park from 4pm, followed by the Sharks’ home clash with Cardiff at Kings Park . The Cape Town outfit have lost just once in this year’s campaign — a 30-24 result away against Cardiff — but they have not lost at home since their 37-19 defeat at the hands of the Lions last December.
The Bulls bounced back to win their last two fixtures since their 31-17 defeat against Munster in Limerick, which makes it 10 wins at Loftus since the Sharks beat them 29-22 in February.
