RECAP: Lions v Sharks
READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the Currie Cup Round 13 clash between the Lions and Sharks at Ellis Park.
The Lions are playing for pride only and perhaps hoping to end their annus horribilis by moving off the bottom of the standings.
However, the Sharks are desperate to catch the table-topping Bulls and losing to the Lions will not aid their cause.
