The Lions are enjoying their best ever United Rugby Championship URC campaign and with two rounds to play find themselves on the verge of reaching the competition playoffs for the first time.
The Johannesburg side are flying high at third on the table, but with an incredibly congested log they could still find themselves dropping out of the top eight if they lose their last two pool games and other results go completely against them.
But the Lions have already registered their highest points tally in the URC, with them currently on 53 points, which is ahead of the 50 points they registered in finishing ninth in the 2023-24 season when they just barely missed out on the playoffs on number of games won, after ending level with eighth placed Ospreys.
