It may sound like mission impossible, but for the Emirates Lions, next week’s do-or-die Vodacom United Rugby Championship fixture against the DHL Stormers will be one that Ivan van Rooyen’s side are hoping to win.

After their incredible 14-man win over Glasgow Warriors, a result that helped topple the Scottish team from the top of the URC log, the Lions now have a week to rest and recuperate as they look towards the Cape Town trip.

They will have their captain Marius Louw, back for the fixture, after he withdrew on the morning of the Glasgow Warriors game with a swollen knee, and by now they’ve heard all the jokes on how they should play with 14 men, given their equally impressive win earlier in the season a man down against Connacht in Galway.

Ulster, who are on 54 points, can also be overtaken if they lose to Munster in the final round without getting a bonus point. But some of those results will need to go the Lions way, especially if the Sharks win the EPCR Challenge Cup this weekend and grab one of the eight spots on offer for next season’s Investec Champions’ Cup.
