WATCH: The last time the Lions won Super Rugby
By RugbyPass
Right now the Super Rugby record book lists the competition winners as follows: Crusaders with seven titles, Blues and Bulls with three each, Chiefs and Brumbies with a pair and the Canes, Tahs, Highlanders and Reds with one.
Except that's not entirely accurate. That's the record from 1996 on, when the professional Super 12 started. Super Rugby had actually been around, in one form or another, for a decade before then. The final of the 1993 Super Ten competition was at the same venue of this weekend's final, and saw the Transvaal Lions defeat Auckland 20-17 to win the title.
Both sides were full of Springbok and All Black players, making it a true showdown between the best provincial sides in the world at the time. Can the 2017 Lions emulate their counterparts from all those years ago?
