Waratahs (33) 73 / Lions (5) 12 (final score)
The Waratahs hosted the Lions at the Sydney Football Ground, Sydney at 10:40 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. The Waratahs really punished a very dismal Lions effort, scoring 11 tries in the process.
It is the 2nd time already this season that the Lions allow 70 points against them and they are now 5 games down from a possible 5.

As ek daai jong vleueltjie is hol ek onmiddelik oor die jukskei rivier as die Super 14 verby is en gaan vra vir Oom Frans of hy hom nie eerder in die by die bulls wil laat speel nie, want as die Lions so aanhou gaan daai man se selfvertroue na moer wees!…
Klink vir my of die Tahs die vaseline saam gebring het…
Ek wonder wat gaan nou aan op daai Leeus websites 🙄
Final score Waratahs 73 / 12
This is a 61-point winning margin…..
Hey Ash…
Jy’t mos met die rooi kappie goed begin man… 😆
Fark, this is tragic…. it’s actually farking rediculous!
Not good for a saffa team. I do feel for the Lions supporters and their players. It is a shame to see this happen.
Dit was kuiken moord !!!
Sal laaik om te hoor wat ou Naas nou te se gaan he…
Ai mense…… ai, ai, ai!
….. en om te dink ouens het eksepsie geneem toe ons in die begin van die seisoen doom en gloom voorspel het vir die Lions……
I know my Sharks team not doing well either. So feel for the Lions supporters.
Kyk daai flokken clueless “touch judge” 😆
Drew Mitchell het ‘n bonus punt op sy eie gekry…
I feel for the Lions; they tried hard, but unfortunately the game got away from them. I like the hard running from Clever. Father time has caught up with Carlos ‘the Jackal’ Spencer. Not to worry, he enjoyed the game when he was at his peak.
We won’t get too carried away with that performance from the tahs – the requirement now is two wins in succession. Next week it’s the Force, in Perth.
172 – Puma – g’day mate. I wish your team every success against the Brumbies – the Sharks are a real threat at any time – packed with some of the best players in world rugby.
toe kies ek mos nou dié naweek om ñ klomp UPSETS te voorspel
😆 eks seker ek ganie flokken ienigste een wies wat UPSET is assie nawiek se rugby om is, hehehe
There are certainly a number of token players in the Lions side. ie the #11. He is no good come defense.
What do you call a fish with no eyes?
A fsh
The LIons made the Waratahs look good.
A better defense would show where the waratahs really are.
#287
and one thats colour blind?
..
BLOUSTE!!!!
286 – wallabie – g’day mate. I’m up on the Central Coast. Where you at????
285@ wallabie
None of them were any good as far as defense is concerned today… 😯
From the Lions that is…
286@ Walla-walla – Man, this was nothing but a rout….. the Lions were woeful, there is NOTHING they or their supporters can take from this game.
2 games now already where they have conceeded over 70….
Shocking!
Gee, guys this is disappointing. My heart goes out to those players sitting in the Lions dressing room now. My sympathies to the Lions supporters here.
BTW can anyone tell me what has happened to Willa and the other Lions guys – how come we don’t see them around here anymore?
289
You calling me a fish hey… he he he
Two peanuts walk into a bar.
One was a salted.
Ag, thought the Bulls game was tonight. Bulls play tomorrow at 5pm. So no more rugby today.
Crici though later.
Wel die aptekers gaan darem geld maak met al die anti-depressante wat hulle gaan verkoop…
293 – Fender. I too feel the the Lions players in that dressing room. They must feel awful. Also their supporters must feel terrible. I feel for them. Let us support them all the way.
I know it was not good for saffa rugby but we need to support our saffa teams no matter what.
#295 Hope they dont get klapped by the Warriors tonight as well Puma, poor Lions supporters wont be able to handle that!….Two weeks ago we got klapped twice on a Friday night in the rugby and the cricket so I know what I am talking about!
Time for the Lions to close shop, or move, this was embarrassingly bad rugby, making the rest of SA’s name gat.
I feel sorry for the Lions supporters, but I do believe they should find themselves a new union to support. I’m always against this mindset, but in their case it’s justified.
290 – Old Griquas, Well done to your team.
