Ellis Park

The Lions delivered a commanding performance against Glasgow Warriors, winning 54-12 at Ellis Park. Henco van Wyk was a standout, scoring two tries and providing crucial momentum early on. Chris William Smith was flawless with the boot, converting all seven tries. Despite a brief response from Dan Lancaster of Glasgow, who scored a try, the Warriors struggled to maintain pressure. The Lions continued to pile on the points with additional tries from Erich Cronje, SJ Kotze, Ruan Venter, Morne van den Berg, Sibabalwe Mahashe, and Quan Horn. Glasgow's substitutions in the second half failed to stem the tide of the Lions' attack. Overall, it was a resounding victory for the home side, avenging their previous defeat to Glasgow earlier in the season.
