Lions out to tell different story

NKOSI: COACH HOPES THEY WON'T MAKE SAME MISTAKES

- Nicholas Zaal

The Lions are favourites to rewrite the script in their second Currie Cup final in two years, after infamously falling due to their own disastrous decision-making last year.

Coach Mziwakhe Nkosi recalled how his side effectively gave the title away, but said this year would “hopefully” be different.

Last year, the Lions opted to keep the ball in play when the final hooter sounded while they were 14-13 up against the Sharks. The Sharks then won a penalty, for the Lions holding holding on, and former Lions flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse slotted a 59m kick to snatch the win.
