Lions face a very simple equation

The Citizen

April 24, 2026

It’s all really very simple for the Lions - beat Connacht and they’re in the United Rugby Championship playoffs.

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

The teams meet at Ellis Park tomorrow (4pm) with plenty on the line for both sides.

Both teams are in the form of their lives and arguably playing the best rugby currently in the competition.

The Lions have gone five games at home without a defeat while Connacht from Ireland are on a six-game winning run.

The Lions are fourth on the points table with 48; Connacht are ninth with 44... that is how close the teams are in the hunt for a top eight finish and a place in the quarterfinals.
