Yip, me too… not too bad, I suppose

For the first time in a very long time, we can safely say, the Lions could have won this one.
May 19th, 2012 at 13:25 SAST
How did the Cheetahs manage to lose to the Lions early in the season?
May 19th, 2012 at 13:25 SAST
@ Just For Kicks:
How the freeging hell could you say that?

221@ The_Young_Turk:Surprised to see you back, thought you’d still have your head stuck in that Russian dictionary! Lions played well early on, went to sleep, and woke up again in the last 20. They definitely could have taken this one in my book.
May 19th, 2012 at 13:29 SAST
222 @ Just For Kicks:
I also think Turkey had his head stuck in a Russian…. but somehow I doubt her name was Dictionary

@ grootblousmile:Hahahaha

May 19th, 2012 at 13:36 SAST
If only we could come away with a bonus win tonight, we could see ourselves back on top…….I can dream, can’t I?

Think you guys might just pull it of with a BP this time. The game against the mighty Cheetahs would surelly have served as a massive wake-up call
