Goooooooo Lions….
Eishh amper byt ek my tong deur…. dit was moeilik om VIR die Lions te kies, moer moeilik!
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT! I am going to miss the first bit of this game.
@ grootblousmile:
How nice to see my fellow Gautengers supporting their neighbours!!!!
Lions need 1 point out of this game to guarantee a semi, but I would like to see a 5 pointer.
3@ Scrumdown:
Going to be a damned hard game this.
Lions need to box smart here.
Game ON!
Plonker Jonker wants the front rows “up close and personal”.
Penalty FS. Should be easy.
Over 3/0 FS.
Staat 3 / 0 as Johan Goosen slots it
Try Michael Bodesio??
TMO
Geez where is everyone? All Rugbied out?
TRYYYYYYYYY Lions.
Awarded!
Lions 5 / 3
Conversion misses. 5/3 Lions.
Lions give away a penalty 7 from FS line.
10 @ Scrumdown:
I’m just finishing off with the client you saw here at my place earlier, then I’m fully attentive
Jonker is so clearly anti Lions he doesn’t even try to hide it. FS 10 was off his feet playing the ball before any Lions player went off their feet but he chose to penalise the attacking side! WTF?
Cheetahs penalty converted
Staat 6 / 5
This game coul become a lottery in these conditions. As greasy as a Boerie roll outside Loftus after the final whistle.
Penalty FS. they lead 6/5
Better Rugby than many WC games here.
OK, client is gone… my atention fully on Rugby!
Heeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaa
Free Kick Lions…
.. and then a penalty Lions right on Halfway!
Jantjies misses short and to the right
Penalty Lions. Looks too far to my eye.
Short and right. FS still lead 6/5
18 @ Scrumdown:
You using the new Notebook?
Obstruction!!!!!! Sh1t. I thought Plonker was going to allow it.
Almost a Staat try… but obstructive running by Ebersohn, penalty Lions
Penalty Staat as Jantjies does not roll away, deep in their own half
@ grootblousmile:
Yes. Just got to get used to the keyboard layout.
Did you also see the mooi blommetjie?
Hehehe
Bondisio has really stepped up since Jano went North.
