Notes
Quotes from Forwards Coach, Brad Macleod-Henderson:

“The Lions have done well this year and have had a good run in the Absa Currie Cup, they have a tough pack of forwards, some exciting backs and we’re playing at Ellis Park so it’s going to be a big challenge on Friday night.”

Quotes from Backline Coach, Sean Everitt:

“The Lions are a dangerous side, and we found that out here, they scored a couple of quick tries against us. They play an exciting brand of rugby, and they are giving the ball a lot of air. So we’ll really have to be on our toes defensively, and play for the full 80 minutes to keep them out.”
