High tackle penalty… Lions penalty
118 @ Pietman:
Got to question the decision.
Too light, too short, and then too tight.
Come on Lions… do it!
120 @ Scrumdown:
Unless of course they win by more than 10 points.
Can’t understand the Lions continually picking “Two Step” Cronje ahead of Meyer.
Tian Meyer has injected serious pace on the ball as replacement scrummie.
Another Lions penalty, and we have a 5m lineout
van Rooyen having a good game since coming on.
Try Derick Minnie… boem!
Ja/nee wat.
Time for a Captain.
125 @ Scrumdown:
Yip Cronje not great also cost you when taking a quick tap early in the game instead of allowing the captain to go for 3 points. Soon after that Province scored a try.
Where is Bondesio (sp) these days? He is very good at sh.
Golden Lions 31 / 28 WP
Wragtag!
What a come back, well done Lions!!!
Jaco Kriel maak n moosa verskil.
Lions coming back here. Well done Minnie.
132 @ Pietman:
Piet,
Why Lions do not start with Kriel just does my head in. He would make my Bok team. He is bloody good.
130 @ Puma:
Bondisio out with a long term injury.
Agree re Kriel as well. Surely the best flanker in the Lions set up.
WP penalty, easy one at goal to draw level
Oh kak. Why not the 3 points?
WP go for touch… wow
135 @ Scrumdown:
Pity about Bondisio. He would make a massive difference to your Lions at sh.
Yip rate Kriel plenty. He should be starting and not coming from the bench.
Just a damn pity your Lions let in two very soft tries at the start here tonight.
6 Minutes to go in the match
Another game down to the wire?
@ Puma:
For sure bru.
De Allende over the line but held up, scrum 5
Can the Lions hold on here? WP throwing everything into it now, on the line…
Hell bells it is tense out there right now.
Great Lions defence… Lions defensive lineout
Lions surviving, just….
Hmmmm. Thank goodness Henry James is here tonight.
3 Minutes and counting
Boshoff, cool as can be, Springbok quality, this boy.
