News Summary:

The Lions Rugby Company stated its refusal to permanently move from its Ellis Park homefield on July 23, 2026, confirming it will play its next two Currie Cup games at university fields solely "out of necessity" and not as an indicator of seeking long-term alternatives. Previously, on May 8, the Fidelity SecureDrive Lions, then ranked third, took on fourth-placed Leinster in Round 17 of the Vodacom United Rugby Championship (URC) in Dublin, with both sides competing for maximum points towards securing home play-off spots in the "Race to the Eight." Earlier, on April 24, the Lions made minor adjustments ahead of their URC Round 16 clash against Irish side Connacht at Ellis Park, aiming to solidify their position in the "Race to the Eight." This followed the Lions welcoming former champions Glasgow Warriors to Ellis Park for URC Round 15 on April 17, entering the match in confident form after a four-match winning streak. In March, specifically on March 20, the Lions hosted Scottish side Edinburgh in URC Round 13 at Ellis Park, a game that marked Springbok scrumhalf Morne van den Berg's 100th international appearance for the Johannesburg team.
