Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A second half horror show saw the Lions<\/b> go down 17-7<\/b> to Stade Francais<\/b> in their European Challenge Cup clash at the Stade Jean-Bouin in Paris on Saturday.<\/p>\n

It was a game of two halves, with the Lions completely dominating the first period before falling flat in the second stanza.<\/p>\n

The Lions, playing in a blue and yellow away strip, led 7-0 at the break courtesy of a try by No 8 Emmanuel Tshituka. However, they will rue making several errors deep into Stade Francais territory which prevented them from building a substantial lead.<\/p>\n

The hosts, perhaps buoyed by being only 7-0 down at the break, came out with renewed vigour in the second half and completely dominated.<\/p>\n

Stade Francais scored 17 unanswered points and kept the Lions scoreless. Flyhalf Joris Segonds kicked two penalties to bring his side to within a point, before the hosts took the lead in the 60th minute when replacement hooker Laurent Panis went over after a powerful driving maul.<\/p>\n

Three yellow cards – for flyhalf Gianni Lombard (53rd minute), prop JP Smith (55th minute) and centre Henco van Wyk (67th minute) – proved killer blows to the Lions’ chances.<\/p>\n

The visitors were unable to create any chances in the second half and late penalties by replacement flyhalf Arthur Coville also took a losing bonus point away from the Lions.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the competition, the Lions had beaten Stade Francais 30-12 at Ellis Park on 16 December.<\/p>\n

Scorers:<\/b>
\nStade Francais 17 (0)<\/b><\/p>\n

Try: Laurent Panis<\/p>\n

Penalties: Joris Segonds (2), Arthur Coville (2)<\/p>\n

Lions 7 (7)<\/b><\/p>\n
