Its time for oranges at the Sydney Football Stadium. C’mon Lions, it’s a new game in the second half.
Lions are as shyte as always, just goes to show in what a mess the Brumbies are…
Butch must be wondering what the fark he did to come to this excuse for a rugby team.
Final sevens score SA 17 – 7 Russia.
Think I must start supporting the Valke. At leastthey just remain shit and never raise your expectations.
jeez, what happened here?
last time i checked it was 5 each!!
2nd Half On!
@ Ashley:
The red wheels fall off VERY spectacularly when they do.
During Halftime I’ve scheduled the rest of the afternoon & evening’s match threads.
Goooooooooooo Bulls!
I really think that the Lions were much more focussed under Josh Strauss as captain… and obviously without Doppies….
GBS have you scheduled some points for the Lions at the same time?
… and of course with Jantjies at flyhalf….
scrumdown @ 68
(sigh) seems like it …
71@ Scrumdown:
I can only do SOOOOOO much, and no more!
Hehehe
Waratahs now just toying with the Lions
Jonker is a plonker. Fullof the self impotant sh1t attitude that most of today’s ref’s are inflicted with.
There was about as much advantage there as there is in using a perforated condom as a family planning tool.
Halloooooo groot blou grillie!!!!
All the fizz seems to have gone out of the match
I reckon I must go and hit some golf balls or something, ’cause this Lions performance is just plain depressing me.
What do these twats do for 40 hours a week? Because it certainly doesn’t look like they practice their profession IMO.
77@ KWAGGA ROBERTSE:
Hellooooooooooooo Pampierperd…. jou ou seksuele masjien!
Hoe gaan dit met Langfaan en BonzaiPerdjie?
Lions showing their true colours again here today……something resembling a turd.
If I performed my work like the Lions I’d starve to death cause I wouldn’t have any clients left.
FFS I reckon they must give the Kings a chance next year. They can’t be any worse.
GBS.Nee wat man mag nie kla nie. Bonzai Kwagga groei soos kakiebos. Masels gehad die week so hy lyk so bietjie s0os n paint by number prentjie maar verder waai die wing nog sterk in die blaaie in.
83@ KWAGGA ROBERTSE:
Jy moet kom kuier man, ek sal so paar kaste skuimkoppe en genoeg Jeagie Bombs opstock net daarvoor man!
Dis maar goed as die kleingoed daai siektes vinnig verby kry….
Useless morons can’t even win their own scrum ball.
Proud Transvaal players of yesteryear must be really ashamed of the level the Lions have dipped to.
So gepraat van drank, ek is darem nou lus om so ietsie deur die keel te ruk!
Terrible match to watch – Tahs are very much in the comfort zone, Lions very much in the kak zone!
Penalty to the Tahs, on the Lions 10m line
Try Ben Mowen
No try… Mowen dropped the ball.
