@ Scrumdown:Wouldn’t like to be the ball at the end of your golf club today!
Skew into the lineout by the Staat… silly, silly mistake
Aus 148/4 at tea.
3 Minutes to go, can the Lions do a Brumbies
181 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehe. Tomorrow if it’s not too cold.
Can the Lions pull a Griquas out of the bag?
Lions knock… phweeew
Game over?
Lions trying too hard now.
Give that man a basket… Volminck
Good old fashioned Tight Head needed now.
1st game of the currie cup???? Brosnihan, stop making a Skinstad of yourself!
189 @ grootblousmile:
Or a PK.
And there comes the TH.
Tighthead!!
Down to the wire.
Drop goal or milk a penalty?
Last chance…Lions could still win with a penalty… or a try
Hooter gone.
CJ saw the try line.
Cheetahs hold the ball up….. game over
Game over.
Well done FS.
Full value for the win.
Would have been a bit of a travesty if the Lions had managed to snatch it.
Bad luck Lions, valiant effort at the end, but a win for the Cheetahs, with a BP, and that is what counts
Final Score: Toyota Free State Cheetahs 30 / 29 MTN Golden Lions
Close game, much closer than I thought it would be.
Lions did better than I expected against a strong Cheetahs side.
Ref was average IMO but not bad enough to have had a big influence on the outcome.
Willie Britz MOTM.
OK fellas, I’m over to the main game thread…
OK Gents. I’m out of here.
Going to hold a post mortem with Henry James Morgan and help my stepson with a project that the little bugger should have done weeks ago but is now due on Monday.
Sjoe.
