The Lions lit up Ellis Park with a free-flowing, high-tempo performance that overwhelmed the Queensland Reds from the opening whistle. Slick handling and relentless forward pressure allowed the Johannesburg side to strike first through winger Courtnall Skosan, and the tone was set for a dominant evening. Fly-half Elton Jantjies kept the scoreboard ticking with pinpoint conversions and territorial kicks, while the loose trio hunted turnovers to starve the Reds of clean possession. By the midway point the hosts had raced to a commanding lead thanks to additional tries from Malcolm Marx and Lionel Mapoe, leaving the Australian visitors chasing shadows.

Queensland did muster flashes of resistance, most notably when Samu Kerevi powered over after a rare spell of sustained phase play. Scrum-half Tate McDermott also injected pace around the fringes, but every Reds breakthrough was swiftly answered by the Lions’ clinical counter-attack. A sweeping movement finished by Ruan Combrinck under the posts highlighted the contrast in execution, and reinforced why the Lions’ attack remains one of Super Rugby’s most feared.

As fatigue set in, the South African pack tightened their grip, dominating the scrum and maul to generate repeat penalties and field position. Jantjies capitalised with a pair of long-range strikes that pushed the margin beyond reach, before a late intercept try from replacement Madosh Tambwe sealed the result and sent the Ellis Park crowd into celebration. The final minutes showcased the Lions’ depth, with fresh legs continuing to stretch the Reds’ defence and protect a comfortable advantage.
