The Lions have to now be considered the Sharks bogey team after they picked up their fifth win in six outings over the Durban side with their 34-22 United Rugby Championship URC victory at Ellis Park on Saturday.
That includes three straight home bonus point wins, and two away victories, while their sole loss was a 25-22 defeat against them in Durban last season.
Their form on the Highveld has been the highlight, with the Lions picking up commanding wins, with a 40-10 thrashing, followed by a 38-14 thumping, and then this past weekends good result again highlighting their dominance.
