The Lions showed no mercy by humbling a SWD Eagles and Border Bulldogs combination 88-0 in their warm-up match in George on Tuesday.
The Johannesburg side were near full strength and made the most of the outing as part of their preparations for the Super Rugby season.
The Lions lead 33-0 at half-time, before putting the foot on the gas in the second half, during which their opposition lost two players to the sin bin.
