@ grootblousmile:
I think.
Chilliboy goes off.
He must be some kind of record holder by now.
Try Lionel Mapoe, Lions!
Lions 20 / 14 Sharks
Jantjies got one. Difficult angle. About 0 degrees. 3ft in front. Well done.
Sharks kickable penalty… Jaco Kriel beaten by the ruck.
unlike the Lions, the Sharks look too stereotyped on attack, which naturally brings them less reward.
Big Sharks maul… penalty advantage!
Try Cobus Reinach, Sharks… close to the sticks.
TMO
well, that’s what happens when one opens one’s big mouth.
Did Etienne Oosthuizen take up space and obstruct?
So, no try… but back for the Sharks penalty… and Franco Mostert cops a Yellow Card for the Lions.
Now the Sharks opt to scrum from the penalty.
Reset scrum… Sharks want to scrum against 7 men…
Try Daniel du Preez, Sharks!
Sharks will go back into the lead. Mostert’s sending off was a massive blow to the Lions. We’ll see just how massive.
Lions 20 / 21 Sharks
there is still plenty of time left on the clock so Lions still have time.
Lions turnover scrum again… maul… and the ball not emerging.
108 @ Tassies:
Can’t help but thinking Jantjies’ woeful goal kicking might just cost the Lions the game…
Lions kickable penalty, No 13 offside… and a few handbags are thrown.
This time it is Ruan Combrinck at posts because Jantjies has already been subbed!
Combrinck misses!!
7 Minutes to go… anybody’s game!
Faf de Klerk now at flyhalf….
Curwin Bosch attempts a looooong drop… had the direction but about 2m short…
… and another drop by Bosch…. short again!
Lions back to 15 men.
Sharks pressing hard….
Time is ticking away mercilessly!
TMO wants something checked… possible early tackle.
