The highlight of the weekend proved to be the top-of-the-table clash between the Highveld rivals, which ended with the Lions turning in a superb performance to overpower the Bulls 57-33 at Midstream College on Friday night.

The Lions had been bolstered in the build-up to the game with a host of United Rugby Championship stars returning, who had been on a break, and many of them put in top shifts to help them clinch a comfortable win over the previously unbeaten Bulls.
