THE Reds are under strict instructions not to be conned into a helter-skelter junk ball contest by a Lions outfit intent on another upset in Johannesburg.
Reds coach Richard Graham has harped on ball control and discipline as the big themes for picking up a valuable win early Sunday morning (Qld time).
The high scoring yet messy 43-33 win over the Cheetahs recently gifted so many chances to the South Africans they were just a try behind with eight minutes to play.
"That night turned into quite a jumbled contest with a lot of broken play and we definitely don't want to loosen up this game against the Lions," Graham warned.
The Lions scored two tries from charged down kicks against the Bulls in round three and have also turned turnovers into gold.
The rank 250-1 outsiders have upset the Cheetahs, Stormers and Blues with a "point to prove" since returning from relegation, warned Reds halfback Will Genia.
Clinical finishing, so lacking last weekend in Durban when three tries were fumbled away, can put the Lions away by 20 points if the Reds are sensible. Winger Rod Davies has made four clean breaks in two games so expect flyhalf Quade Cooper to again use him as a go-to weapon.

The Reds scored one try against the Cheetahs and should have had another against the Sharks from Davies splitting the line off lineout moves.
Reds centre Mike Harris knows chances have to be better taken because he blew a certain try by dropping the ball with the tryline open last weekend.
"I couldn't have been more off myself for dropping it. We know we are better than that and have to take the chances we are creating," Harris said.
Reducing a competition-high 14.5 penalties per game is imperative or Lions superboot Marnitz Boshoff will keep feasting at 19 points per game.
Genia spent part of his midweek day-off at a coaching clinic for underprivileged black kids from the Orlando township in Soweto.

"People come to Africa to go see lions, rhinos and elephants," Genia said."To get out and do something with those schoolkids and see the joy on their faces is something I'll remember for the rest of my life."
South African referee Stuart Berry will control the game despite SANZAR referees' boss Lyndon Bray saying he blundered when not ruling a knock-on in the Lions' decisive try against the Blues last weekend.
Pocket-sized Lions halfback Faf de Klerk is a nippy rival for Genia to be wary of sniping from behind rucks or big rolling mauls.
