Lions must adapt to conditions

While the Lions will look to stick to their fast-paced, running game that has brought them success in their first two United Rugby Championship games of the 2024/25 season they know they may have to adapt to a different approach in more trying conditions in the northern hemisphere over the next three weeks.

In hot dry conditions on the highveld, the Lions racked up big wins against Ulster and Edinburgh at Ellis Park, but they will next play in very different conditions when they take on the Dragons in Wales, Zebre in Italy and Leinster in Ireland in the coming weeks.

Lions scrum coach Julian Redelinghuys (right) though isn't too concerned about what his team will face up north.
