We control what we can, with a sharp focus on our processes in the build-up," Redelinghuys said.Apart from the win over the Stormers in Cape Town last December, the Lions have struggled against the other SA teams.Redelinghuys said they were intent on improving in this regard."We certainly want to improve our performances against local opposition.
We believe if we can better our performances in local URC derbies, the results will take care of themselves. There’s no better opportunity than this Saturday at home in front of our home fans," he said.Saturday's clash kicks off at 16:00.Lions team:15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Edwill van
