The Lions stunningly became the first SA team to win a URC match against Connacht in Galway, powering to a huge 38-14 win on Saturday night.

What made the result more ridiculous was that Connacht hadn’t been beaten by any other SA side in nine previous attempts at the Sportsground.

But the ref asked the TMO to take a look at the hit of Ntlabakanye on flank Conor Oliver who took the tap, with replays showing it high and dangerous, leading to a red card and a heavy double blow to the visitors. Connacht hit straight back four minutes later as they attacked from a scrum deep in the Lions 22m, with the ball coming back around for Hanrahan to ghost over and score, with him adding the extras to make it 19-14.
