READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the Rainbow Cup SA Round Three match between the Lions and Stormers at Ellis Park.

It has not been the start either side envisaged as they meet, having each lost their opening two games.

The Lions, in fact, have been defeated in their last three matches since beating the Sharks in Johannesburg in March.

The Stormers have won 14 of their 21 meetings, but have prevailed on only two of their previous six visits to Johannesburg.
