United Rugby Championship: Lions fight back to beat Benetton

They trailed 28-13 with 18 minutes to go but two tries from Emmanuel Tshituka and a further score from Rabz Maxwane turned the game on its head and secured a third victory in a row for the South Africans.

Tries from Joaquin Riera, Marcus Watson, Siua Maile and Henry Time-Stowers had appeared to put Benetton on track for a victory which would have been vital to their own play-off hopes.

Quan Horn had earlier crossed for the Lions in the first half with scrum-half Sanele Nohamba booting three conversions and two penalties.

Jacob Umaga converted all four Benetton tries.
