They stepped up the intensity after the break, especially on defence, with Boshoff and Co effectively kicking for territory and turning any scoring opportunity into points.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first time in seven years the Lions have managed back-to-back Vodacom Super Rugby victories \u2013 in 2007 they beat the Reds and Force on consecutive weekends in rounds four and five.<\/p>\n<p>It was also the Lions franchise\u2019s biggest win in any local derby. As the Cats, they beat the Vodacom Bulls by 57-24 in 1999 and the DHL Stormers by 41-7 in 1998.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scorers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lions<\/strong> \u2013 Try: Stefan Watermeyer.
