Great counterruck by the Kings

Side entry… another Lions penalty deep in their half
Try Jaco Kriel, Lions!
Boem!
Seems very close but for Kings the problem is not just winning but overcoming the first leg deficit too, is it too early to suggest Lions back in Super rugby next year.
Lions 18 / 9 Kings
24 Minutes to go
73 @ grootblousmile:
Just read that after I posted the comment GBS, so that surely must confirm it then for the Lions, even if Kings win from here surely they can’t manage the extra points as well
Kings attacking scrum, bad knock by Deon “Tannies se liefie” Helberg
Lions get a vital tighthead… and they attack
Latest from the cricket : England 271/5 – Pietersen 106, Bairstow 22 at the crease for England
76 @ Bullscot:
Yip, the difference is effectively 16 points now…
22 Minutes to go… mountain to climb for the Kings now
Lions penalty, easy one to goal…
Jantjies misses the sitter
Kings penalty, and a good touchfinder
Skew into the lineout by the Kings… eish
Jantjies knocks again…. how badly he has deteriorated in one long season…
Kings penalty as the Lions break out for a spectator try… hehehe
Yellow to Stokkies Hanekom for a tip-tackle
Kings attack, they are less than a meter out…
Try Schalk Ferreira, Kings… under the sticks
