The Lions travelled to Bloemfontein on Saturday and returned from the Toyota Stadium with a full house of points in their win over the Toyota Free State. The visitors ran in eight tries and conceded three in a commanding display. Five of those tries came from the backs, but neither of their two impressive midfielders, Henco van Wyk and Tyler Bocks, managed to cross the try line.

Round five will be played on the weekend of 17/18 September. The Cell C Sharks will return to action against the Free State in Durban, the Lions host WP and the Bulls await the Leopards.
