In a significant United Rugby Championship (URC) match, the Lions achieved a decisive 44-12 victory over Leinster, the current league leaders, at Ellis Park. Emmanuel Tshituka was a standout performer, scoring two tries. This victory has notably boosted the Lions' playoff hopes. Leinster, suffering from a high error count and poor overall performance, faces the Stormers next. Concurrently, the Vodacom Bulls also secured a win against the defending URC champions, Munster. The results have tightened the top of the URC table, with Glasgow now just one point behind Leinster.

Excellent 44-12 win for the Lions against Leinster. Glasgow now just a point behind URC leaders Leinster, who face the Stormers in Cape Town next weekend. A bad afternoon for Leinster.

🦁 How was this start from the Lions? Can they hold on against Leinster? #LIOvLEI #URC https://t.co/5cHnCUhHNh
Great first half from the Lions. Clinical in attack early on and have showed resilience in defence since. Leinster error count way too high, very poor first half from Leo Cullen’s side. Trail 22-0 at the break.
Leinster are 22-0 down after 15 mins against the Lions. Very flat from Leinster in the altitude at heat. Lions ruthless so far. #URC
