Lions 'exactly where they want to be' ahead of crunch URC fixtures

The Johannesburg side has been in top form in the competition, winning their last five games in a row to put them fifth in the standings and in a strong position to make the play-offs.

"We've put ourselves in this position and we're all really looking forward to the next two matches at home," Horn told IOL Sport.

"It could put us exactly where we want to be when the playoffs come around."

However, due to the Challenge Cup and Champions Cup play-offs, it has been a couple of weeks since they last took the field.

Head coach Ivan van Rooyen used the extra time to allow the players a break from training to spend time with their families over Easter and reset both physically and mentally.

"For the first week and a half, we had some time off, which meant we could spend Easter weekend with family, and that was really good," Horn added.

"The break also gave guys a chance to sort out niggles and step away from rugby mentally, which helped a lot.

"Last week, we were able to sharpen parts of our game and analyse Glasgow and what they might bring.

"It doesn't matter whether they bring a full-strength team or not. We'll focus on what we need to do to put ourselves in a strong position.

"The idea of taking it game by game really rings true for us. You can get caught up thinking too far ahead and then your focus slips.

"We know where we want to be after these two matches, but it starts with Glasgow. That's our priority."
