Griquas replacement Ashlon Davids scored a match-winning try on the final whistle to deny the Lions a first victory in the Currie Cup this season on Wednesday afternoon in Johannesburg.
Griquas took the ball through 15 phases before Davids slipped over, and George Whitehead converted after the hooter to complete a 23-17 victory for Pieter Bergh’s men at Wits University Stadium.
The Kimberley outfit were down to 14 men from the 54th minute after Zander du Plessis was yellow-carded for a high tackle on Jaco Visagie, who intercepted and raced to the tryline before he was brought down. Whitehead earned 10 minutes in the sin bin for repeated infringements by Griquas, only for the resultant penalty for Lions to be overturned after Jannie du Plessis slapped the Griquas flyhalf.
Three minutes from full time, Griquas’ Du Plessis lined up a long-range penalty attempt but pulled it well wide, before Davids’ late score sealed victory for the team from the Northern Cape.
