Big Lions prop Asnenathi calls on tight five to step up against Scarlets on Saturday at Ellis Park

The Lions' sledgehammer prop, Asenathi Ntlabakanye, believes the Joburg-based team will snap their three-match losing streak in the United Championship when they host the Scarlets at Ellis Park on Saturday.

It is a match the Lions should expect to win, given the Welsh team has issues at home as they negotiate restructuring issues, with Wales Rugby in a state of flux.

“It is good to be back at home after three weeks away," the 150kg Ntlabakanye said. “Both teams are under pressure this weekend – the Scarlets just got beaten by the Stormers, and Benetton beat us.
