URC: VAN ROOYEN'S TROOPS NEED A STRING OF POSITIVE RESULTS AT HOME
The Lions will look to find the one thing that has been lacking the most in their season up to now – consistency – when they wrap up their United Rugby Championship regular season fixture list at home in the coming weeks.
Ivan van Rooyen's team have experienced another up-and-down campaign, never able to string a set of positive results together over a long period, and thus find themselves down in 14th place in the standings.
They now basically have to win their final four regular season games, possibly with bonus points, to stand a chance of finishing in the top eight and featuring in the playoffs.
