The Lions will again bank heavily on playing at home in familiar surroundings when they come up against Connacht in a massive United Rugby Championship round 16 match at Ellis Park on Saturday.
The Lions will be desperate to pick up as many log points as possible ahead of their two-match mini tour of Ireland from next week. They face Leinster and Munster away in their final two games before the top eight are confirmed.
As things stand, the Lions are fourth with 48 points. They are being pursued by Ulster fifth, 47, Munster sixth, 46, Cardiff seventh, 46, the Bulls eighth, 45 and Connacht ninth, 44.
