NTLABAKANYE: EMPHASIS ON SET-PIECES AND EXITS.

The Lions are aiming for an improved performance at the set-piece and with their exits when they welcome the Sharks to Ellis Park for the Currie Cup final tomorrow afternoon (4pm).

In their semifinal win over the Cheetahs the Lions were bullied in the scrums, and struggled after receiving kick-offs, as they kept allowing the visitors back into the game after pulling ahead.

Lions prop Asenathi Ntlabakanye knows how important the set-piece battle will be against the Sharks and admits that it could decide who triumphs on the day.
