Rugby:  Lions got their first URC win against Scarlets

# Rugby: The Lions finally found their winning ways when two late tries by replacement Morne Brandon secured them a 29-18 victory over the Scarlets in their United Rugby Championship match at Ellis Park on Saturday. Played in consistent rain, it was by no means a classic but a gritty win by a side under pressure. The win will lift some of the pressure on coach Ivan van Rooyen, who will be hoping it is the turnaround the side need ahead of a long arduous campaign that got off to the worst start.
