Lions wing Latica Nela sealed off their win over the Stormers XIII with a try.
The Lions outplayed the Stormers XXIII 36–5 at Ellis Park on Friday night to mark an excellent week for the Joburg club after their United Rugby Championship side almost beat the All Blacks.
Friday night’s game had the carrot of the winner almost certainly making the Currie Cup semi-finals, with the loser dropping out of the race.
It is the Lions that find themselves elevated into fourth place, albeit tenuously, as there are big games to come this weekend — the Pumas host the Cheetahs on Saturday at 2pm, and the Cavaliers are at home to Griquas on Sunday.
The Pumas and Cavaliers are fighting with the Lions for two semi-final spots.
