The Cats are a South African Rugby Union team competing in the Super 12 competition. They are based in Johannesburg and centred around the Lions (Johannesburg) union, but also draw players from the Cheetahs (Bloemfontein), the Griffons (Welkom) and the Griquas (Kimberley). Prior to 1998, they competed in the Super 12 as Transvaal.
They have not achieved great success in the Super 12 competition, finishing on the bottom of the table three times, with their best performances being in 2000 and 2001, when they reached the semi-finals.
