JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The Lions ran in eight tries and claimed a bonus point as they beat the New South Wales Waratahs 55-36 in a free-flowing Super Rugby clash at Ellis Park on Saturday.

The sides exchanged two tries apiece in the opening 20 minutes before last year’s runners-up went 33-24 ahead at the break after a first half in which they crossed their visitors’ line five times and the Sydney-based franchise replied with three of their own.
