The Lions are chasing an elusive United Rugby Championship playoff spot that would see them qualify for next season's Champions Cup.

'The top eight dream for us is still alive, that’s something we genuinely talk about every day," said forwards coach Barend Pieterse.

“We didn’t do ourselves a favour against Munster or Ospreys , but all we can do is try to keep on winning games and get as many points as possible, and then hopefully one or two things go our way in the other results. “If we want to be successful as a union and we want to play in the Champions Cup , then that is something we need to be better at,” Pieterse said.
