The Lions are preparing themselves to face the Bulls Springbok superstars, as they target a first ever United Rugby Championship URC double over their cross-Jukskei rivals at Ellis Park on Saturday afternoon kick-off 2:30pm.
Late last year in their first local derby of their campaign the Lions stunned the Bulls 43-33 at Loftus, during a superb performance that saw the Joburg side leading 43-19 with five minutes left, before two late scores made the result look closer than it was.
But that was during the Pretoria teams disastrous seven game losing streak, and a much more fired up and confident Bulls side will head into this weekends clash with plenty of momentum after impressive back-to-back wins over Pau in France and Edinburgh in Scotland.
