Lions coach Johan Ackerman says looking back at their quarterfinal victory over the Crusaders last year will not help them in their Super Rugby final this weekend.
The Lions beat the Crusaders 42‑25 in their 2016 quarterfinal match‑up at Ellis Park before eventually going down to the Hurricanes in the final in Wellington.
This year the Crusaders are back in Johannesburg preparing to face the Lions for the championship title after the South African's marched past the Hurricanes 44‑29 at Ellis Park.
The Crusaders have arrived in Johannesburg, looking to become the first team to win the competition after travelling to or from the Republic for the final.
The Lions will host the Crusaders at 2am Sunday.
