Lions trying to remain positive

Despite a dreadful start to the United Rugby Championship (URC) season the Lions are trying to remain positive and are targeting an upset win over Benetton in Trevisio on Saturday to kickstart their campaign.

The Lions began their season with a heavy loss in Wales against Cardiff, before following that up with a last gasp defeat to Zebre in Parma this past Sunday, which has seen them pick up just one point from their first two games.

It has thus already put them massively on the back foot in their pursuit of a place in the competition playoffs come the end of the season, and if they are unable to get a positive result against Benetton this weekend, it will leave them with an incredible amount to do to try and achieve that.
