Lions seek momentum

- Nicholas Zaal

The Lions have pinpointed key areas for improvement as they prepare for a crucial URC derby against the Sharks at Kings Park on Saturday afternoon.

Retaining momentum and creating more attacking opportunities have been the focus in training, with assistant coach Ricardo Loubscher highlighting flyhalf Chris Smith, scrumhalf Morné van den Berg and fullback Quan Horn as players working on sharpening their decision-making in attack.

The Lions currently lead the United Rugby Championship's South Africa shield table, while the Sharks won the title for the first time last year.
