'Lions going in right direction'

SKIPPER: JOBURG SIDE ARE CONFIDENT AHEAD OF BREAK

- Ross Roche

Lions captain Francke Horn says that the team is finally moving in the right direction after a difficult start to the season was offset by two bonus point home wins that has moved them into the United Rugby Championship (URC) top eight after the first block.

The URC now has a one month break for the November internationals, before resuming at the end of November, along with the EPCR competitions kicking off, making for a tough December and January period.

Crucially the Lions will head into the festive period with renewed confidence and good momentum, after starting off their URC campaign with a dreadful overseas tour.
