Flanker JC Pretorius, set to play in his 50th international match for the Lions, will up against some experienced Irish internationals during the URC quarter-final on Saturday in Dublin.
The Lions are acutely aware that they will not get a million scoring opportunities against Leinster this weekend in their United Rugby Championship (URC) quarter-final in Dublin.
Therefore, they have made a concerted effort over the last two weeks of training to sharpen their attacking accuracy and put themselves in a position to convert opportunities when they arise.
It is a first-ever URC knockout match for the Johannesburg side and, while they are still awaiting the fitness of a few star players, they have entered the final stages of their preparation for the historic clash at the Aviva Stadium (9pm kick-off) in the Irish capital.
However, they are also wary of a wounded Leinster side, who were comfortably beaten by Bordeaux Bègles in the Champions Cup final this past Saturday. The Lions will look to take lessons from Bordeaux into their clash, while the learnings from their previous encounter against the defending champions must also shape their approach.
