Lions looking for solid start

Johannesburg – The Lions will be looking for a solid start in order to contain the attack-minded Highlanders in their Super Rugby match in Johannesburg on Saturday.

Lions captain Warren Whiteley this week highlighted the need for his side to gain early ascendancy as the Johannesburg side look to break the habit of playing catch-up rugby.

Quite sobering is the fact that the Lions have trailed at the break in seven of their last eight matches but managed to win six.
