The Lions hosted the Chiefs at Coke a cola Park, Johannesburg tonight. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game is broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. In a try fest, with both teams scoring 9 tries each, the Chiefs won 72 / 65. The Lions earned 2 Log Points from the match and the Chiefs of course earned a full 5 Log Points. Eventually it was quite comical how the tries flowed because there was just no semblance of defence from either team.
I doubt whether in history there has been such a high scoring Super 14 game, with a full 137 points scored in total!

am really impressed with the Lions, nice aggressive passionate rugby, not like the team who name i wont say.
Lions keep running like that and keep Chiefs running. Chiefs going to have no gas left in the 2nd half. Altitude going to take its toll.
Go Lions.
Try Stephen Donald… under the sticks
Puma, did you get your WC tickets?
Chiefs 27 / 25

Lions need to stay focused now. They must not allow Chiefs back after such a good start.

Must say this is quite exciting, one for you one for me.
But if the Lions lose they cant blame the ref, at this stage the team that got the stick from the ref was the Chiefs.
