The Lions are banking on better adaptability and improved accuracy to aid them in their quest to pick up an important away win in their United Rugby Championship URC clash against Ospreys at the Brewery Field in Bridgend, Wales on Friday night kick-off 9:45pm.
Conditions in the UK and Europe are currently completely different to what is experienced in South Africa at this time, and in fact the extreme conditions are something that the SA teams only really experience when they tour overseas.
The Lions were given a good test of those credentials over the past weekend when in very cold, wet and windy conditions they battled to a credible draw in the Champions Cup against Perpignan in France.
