In order to claim a maiden Super Rugby title against the Crusaders in Christchurch this weekend, the Lions must play the best game in the franchise's history, whilst hoping for an off‑day from their hosts, according to Springboks great Joel Stransky.
Speaking to the Radio Sport Breakfast, Stransky said that the Lions will need to play the game of their collective lives, if they are to avoid three successive finals defeats.
Stransky says the Crusaders are such a wonderful side that has played such wonderful rugby all season.
He adds it is up to all 23 players to play their absolute best to find a way to beat the Crusaders."
Stransky says that the trip from Johannesburg to Christchurch could prove decisive, with the Crusaders never having lost a play‑off match at home.
Lions will play Crusaders at 7.35pm Saturday in the final of the Super Rugby.
