The Highveld Derby, take two.For the Lions, it’s last-chance saloon from here. Can they find their “winning way” and beat the Bulls in Johannesburg? If they don’t, then it’s surely curtains for their semi-final dreams.
The Bulls will be just as desperate, knowing that a slip-up here will take some of the pressure off whoever wins in Durban.

At last…a decent Earl at fullback….
Solid…committed…accept that tackling is part of his role in the side…and can do everything else the “other” Earl can do…
Go Earl Lewis…
well done lions. it is amazing the difference in the team with their captain on the field. unlike the sharks that are shocking when muller is on the field.
