THE PREDICTION
Whilst the Lions are in fifth place with five games played they came very close to being the first Super Rugby Unlocked side to defeat the runaway leaders, Bulls, in a 25-30 defeat on Saturday. Lions will take heart from that performance into the rets f the games and that should mean a strong home win against the Pumas, who will be well-rested from their bye week but are unlikely to have any answers here. Pumas have only beaten the very beatable Griquas so far in this tournament and road losses to the Sharks and Cheetahs by more than 20 points looks a good benchmark for this match. Lions can back up a spirited loss with a win at home here, even with a -20 start.
