Jaco Kriel gets the ball on the left wing in space and he is forced to put in a brilliant chip kick that just evades him as he tries to collect it. Cheetahs escape a certain try due to the bounce of the ball

The Lions destroyed the Cheetahs with their maul and earned 2 advantages before they sent it wide. The ball went wide and Jantjies attacked a huge gap, Hannekom collected a low pass and turned and passed in contact to set up Mapoe. Great team try.

The referee also carded Philip van der Walt for collapsing the maul, a cynical foul.

Brilliant work by le Roux and Rhule as the back line is released with 1st phase ball off a scrum. Two skip passes out wide to Raymond Rhule saw him drift outside his defender, he straightened up well to pass the ball inside to the scorer who shook the attempted tackle by Hollenbach

Interesting set move by the Lions as Jantjies stands very close and flat at the scrum. He receives the ball and pops immediately to a loose forward to crash up. Cheetahs get penalised for hands in the ruck

The tight 5 for the Cheetahs doing lots of work in the loose play early on. Carries by Uys and de Jager saw them advance over the advantage line. Whiteley penalised for killing the ball.

Huge run by the Springbok Cornal Hendricks as he makes good yards down the right hand wing. The Lions retreive the ball after a knock on and try run it out but show equally poor hands

Welcome to the second last game of the group stages for this season. It is a dead rubber in the context of play off's but there is much more to it than just that. Ellis park is going to see an epic battle this evening as many players have a point to prove and the teams supporters will be hopig to take the bragging rights of a win today into the upcoming Currie Cup
