Lions dominate Dragons 42-26 at Ellis Park, securing a crucial four-try bonus point to bolster their United Rugby Championship play-off hopes. South Africa's Lions led 8-7 after the first quarter, powered by flanker Siba Mahashe's powerful try and fly-half Chris Smith's penalty. Despite a strong second-half fightback, including a late try from wing Dyer, the Lions held firm. Smith's penalty and replacement back Richard Kriel's try extended the lead before Dyer's acrobatic finish and Smith's conversion. Smith and Nico Steyn then crossed for a second Lions try, cementing the victory. Dyer's yellow card for penalties didn't derail the result.
