Lions XV on a winning streak
Three hat-tricks were scored by the Xerox Golden Lions XV – No 8 Jo-Hanko de Villiers and winger Madosh Tambwe dotting down three times in their victory over the Leopards in Wolmaransstad on Saturday. The Xerox Golden Lions XV outplayed the Leopards (halftime 18-8) to score a second win in as many matches in the SuperSport Rugby Challenge. In all, the visitors scored eight tries, with the Leopards picking up a bonus point with four of their own.
The foundation for the win was laid by the young Lions pack who dominated proceedings from the outset. Leo Kruger was a powerhouse in the scrums while they also used the line-outs and mauls as a weapon in their arsenal.
Points: Xerox Golden Lions XV - Tries: Jo-Hanko de Villiers (3), Madosh Tambwe (3), PJ Botha, Ulrich Maritz. Conversions: Jeanluc Cilliers (6). Penalty: Cilliers.
