  • 🦁 URC Q-FINAL | LIONS 10–59 LEINSTER
A tough night for the Lions as they were well beaten at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. 

The Lions arrived hoping to avenge their heavy regular season defeat to Leinster — instead they suffered an even more painful evening. 

There were fleeting moments of promise and a handful of individual performances that deser ved better, but once Leinster established control the visitors looked increasingly deflated. 

By the final quarter the Lions looked completely outclassed.

JC Pretorius marked his 50th Lions cap on the night, but the bench offered little impact and the lineout deteriorated badly as the game wore on. 

The Lions can take some consolation in the fact that they faced a Leinster side still stinging from their Champions Cup final defeat just seven days prior  — a wounded animal is always the most dangerous.

A disappointing exit from the URC for the Johannesburg side, but with the Bulls progressing on the same night, South African rugby still has plenty to shout about. The Lions will regroup and come back stronger next season. 🦁
