[LOOK] Gusty Lions fight back v Warriors
|Published
Try time: Sanele Nohamba
The Lions put a miserable off-field week behind them to pull off a stunning 35-24 United Rugby Championship win over Glasgow Warriors at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Having postponed their team announcement last week after a survey surfaced in which the players didn’t rate coach Ivan van Rooyen highly, the Lions scored a morale-boosting win on their home turf.
Trailing 24-14 at the break, the hosts span’d saam in the second 40 to score 21 unanswered points, despite having prop Ruan Dreyer redcarded for a dangerous clear-out tackle late-on.
