Ok folks, shuffle up for the 1st match of the new United Rugby Championship, where European teams and the 4 premier SA teams do battle.
Of course, as far as South Africa is concerned, for all intents and purposes the United Rugby Championship means the SA sides have moved to play with the North as a replacement for our Super Rugby exit!
Players out on the pitch!!

TMO
Try stands…

22M Drop Out by the Lions.
I do not know how the Log points would work… but if 4 tries is a Bonus Point, then the Lions are already there!!
Lions pass out to touch… not so good there.
But they want to run, attack…
