Lions will fight tooth and nail

Loading player...

The Lions cannot be underestimated Vodacom Bulls' director of rugby Jake White argued ahead of Saturday's Jukskei derby at Loftus Versfeld. White is wary of the Lions after their win over the Stormers but the hosts of 'To The Last Drop' argue the home team will be better suited to the expected inclement weather on Saturday.
They reminded the Lions could leapfrog the Stormers on the points table with a win on Saturday, while stressing the Bulls need to back up their forward grunt with better game management.
Hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel also look at the mouthwatering fixtures awaiting fans when the Springboks go north of the equator in November.
