defeats against the Sharks, 37-10, Stormers, 40-8, and Munster, 33-3, which sees them heading into the Stade Francais game on a bad run.All three of those games were always going to be difficult encounters for the Lions, especially with all three away from home, and they were considered under dogs for each one, but the disappointment comes from the manner of each defeat.
They now face another tough match against high flying Stade Francais, who are second on the French Top 14 log and are on a superb run of form with three big wins in their last three matches.Although the Lions comfortably beat them 30-12 in their first encounter at Ellis Park in mid-December, Stade Francais sent a weakened team to take part in that match, and they are expected to field a much stronger side at home on Saturday.
