Lions captain Francke Horn says the team will use their Christmas week off to rest, recover and switch off for a bit, before returning to United Rugby Championship URC action against the Sharks in Durban on the first weekend of January.
The Lions have the tough task of arresting a three-game losing streak against what is likely to be a Springbok laden Sharks in Durban, and try and reignite their season that has seen them win just three games against nine losses in all competitions so far.
They will hope that a decent performance against the Stormers in Cape Town, that saw them almost upset the unbeaten in-form hosts, after leading 17-10 at halftime, before falling to a tight 34-27 defeat , will give them some momentum heading up the coast.
