Rugby: Uphill battle for Lions in final two URC group matches

# Rugby: The Lions face an uphill battle in their final two United Rugby Championship matches after winning their six previous games. The Johannesburg team is currently third on the log, their best position ever, but faces defending champion Leinster and Munster in Ireland next. The Lions could finish in the top-four, or even fail to qualify for the quarterfinals if certain results go against them. Coach Ivan van Rooyen says they are focusing only on Leinster at the moment and will then start planning for Munster.
