The match was initially delayed by 10 minutes due to the weather.

When the teams did take the field at around 19:15, the floodlights failed a few minutes into the game.

With lightning flashing in the background, the players were taken off the field for their safety with the match then only kicking off at 21:30.

In Friday's earlier game, the Lions beat the Pumas 26-10.
