The Lions snatched a nail-biting 23-22 win over the Sharks in their United Rugby Championship local derby at Kings Park on Saturday.
The Joburg side raced to a 15-0 lead, weathered a Sharks resurgence while the Lions were down to 14 men for 20 minutes, where the Sharks scored three tries, and then went on to retake the lead courtesy of a Haashim Pead try in the corner after the hooter sounded.
This ended the Sharks two-game winning streak, while the Lions ended their three-match losing run. The Lions have now won four out of nine URC clashes against the Sharks.
