Well done Lions. Winning 20-16 against the Rebels. The Rebels were 13-3 ahead at half time.

That is the Lions second win on tour...

Great win! Perhaps this new line-up at the back-line could spark some attacking flair which is all the Lions really need. That and better composure after a number of phases.
Now they take on the Reds next week which is another winnable game. If the Lions can take 3/4 on their away tour wouldn't that be an unprecedented success.

Big comeback by the Lions. Well done guys!!!
