Sharks, Bulls, and Lions prepare for Challenge
Cape Argus
|April 01, 2025
DEFENDING champions the Sharks, the Bulls and Lions are gearing up for potentially tricky away EPCR Challenge Cup round of 16 fixtures at the weekend.
The Lions will face Scottish side Edinburgh at DAM Health Stadium on Friday, while the Bulls will tackle French side Bayonne at Stade Jean Dauger on Saturday. The Sharks face French giants Lyon at Stade Gerland later on Saturday.
It was a disappointing weekend for the four South African teams in the United Rugby Championship at the weekend, apart from the Bulls, who thumped Zebra Parma 38-24 in Pretoria.
The 14-man Stormers suffered a narrow 38-34 defeat against Ulster in Belfast, the Sharks went down 10-7 against Leinster in Durban, and the Lions were on the receiving end of a heavy 42-12 loss against the Glasgow Warriors in Scotland.
This coming weekend, the Bulls again look the most likely South African side to triumph in the lesser Challenge Cup prized more as a back door to the Champions Cup.
