The Lions‚ who don’t have as tight a grip on the conference as was the case in recent seasons‚ fell short against the Stormers and the Bulls but coach Swys de Bruin is unfazed.

“I don’t think it is an issue. That was a really close game against the Stormers and it could have gone either way. In fact‚ we still led after 83 minutes and lost in the 84th.The Sharks have underwhelmed even more in conference play. They lost home and away to the Bulls and the Stormers beat them in Durban. A win in Johannesburg will be like manna.“Look‚ we are preparing for a physical battle. They will be fired up.

“They will come hard up-front‚” said the coach who this week signed a new deal that will keep him at Ellis Park for two more years.
