Cape Town - The Lions are sweating over the availability of star centre Lionel Mapoe as they prepare to face the Bulls in a Super Rugby clash in Pretoria this weekend.
According to Rugby365, Mapoe is struggling with a knee injury and is in a race against time to be fit for the trans-Jukskei derby at Loftus Versfeld.
Coach Johan Ackermann said they will give Mapoe until Thursday's team announcement before making a call on his availability.
