Family will be there on Saturday for the epic but first feeding time at lions den on Wednesday morning!

Full time and Lions have ran out 26-19 winners. Lions deserve their win as they carry a 7 point lead into next weeks 2nd leg. The favourites will be Lions as they have home advantage and a 7 point lead. Kings are in trouble and looking like their year stay in Super Rugby will be coming to a end. Thanks for following on Ultimate Rugby and make sure you come back tomorrow for coverage of the two Super 15 semi finals.

Try Kings! Substitute Sykes goes over after getting the ball off the ruck and bundling over. The conversion is wide so Lions lead 26-19 with 9 minutes remain.

Try Lions! Hanekom goes over for his second after powering through the Kings defence. 26-14 with 13 minutes remaining, Kings in trouble.

Kings now pushing to get back into the game.

Lions have been attacking inside the Kings 5 metre line for 5 minutes but its gone to waste as they knock the ball on 2 metres away from the line.

Still pointless in this second half. Lions pushing to extend their lead.

This half has been much calmer than the first. Both sides giving away the ball.

Half time and Lions lead. A very even matched game. Stay with us for 2nd half updates.

Try Lions! Intercept try from Hanekom, he runs 80 metres to score under the posts. The conversion is good so the score is 19-14 Lions.
