THE PREDICTION
Sharks thumped Dragons 51-3 last Friday to move into play-off contention with a game in-hand to spare. They and the other South African sides will face-off this weekend to use up those spare matches as the hugely disjointed United Rugby Championship begins to level itself out and the hosts have the most winnable fixture of the three against the Lions. The visitors beat Edinburgh 15-9 last Saturday to make it four URC wins in a row but with each of those coming at home this is likely to be a crashing back down to Earth kind of outing on Saturday. Sharks have won the last three meetings with Lions by at least eight points and so taking the hosts to cover -7 here looks a suitable move.
