    Just had a bite to eat and a coffee in the Media centre, and a group of us got to chatting.

    As seems to be the norm these days, the whole discussion had nothing to do with the brilliant play of player x, of the dynamics of team y, all it centred around was……..ref’s, TMO’s, assistant ref’s and rules.

    Seems the ref’s are getting bigger than the game.

    Thanks. I thinks it’s going to be a tough and close game. Could go either way IMO.

    Yes, they are beginning to act like bloody show ponies, everyone wants to be shown up on the big screen and conduct some lectures to show off their special knowledge of the game. Scrum rules need to change, front rowers still getting injured anyway, all those re-sets and instructions just slow down the game and give the ref an opportunity to talk a load of nonsense. Very boring…

    10 @ Bullscot:
    Just take care that some yobbo doesn’t send you to fetch a Bovril, and makes you leave a shoe as insurance.

    I’m sure you recall the Billy Connolley sketch.

    11: Nog geen telling na 6 minute nie. Bulle was deur vir ‘n drie, maar TMO meen daar was ‘n vorentoe.

    How the mighty have fallen… Elton Jantjies & Louis Fouché playing Vodacom Cup rugby… so too Bandise Maku, Waylon Murray, David Bullbring, Vleis Engelbrecht

    7-0 BB na 12 minute. Clyde Davids gedruk.

    16 @ grootblousmile:
    Ackermann wants Jantjies to get some game time. Hence VC rather than warming the bench in SR.

    He really needs to get back to form if the Lions are to do anything in this comp’.

    Ben on 22 March 2014 at 4:52 pm

    7 elk na 18 minute

    Ben on 22 March 2014 at 4:54 pm

    Leeus score van hul eie doellyn, Waylon Murray vergeet om te duik, 14-7 na 20 minute.

    Go Lions!

    16: van daai lot, rate ek net vir Vleis, die res is useless, soos hierdie game wys.

    22 @ Ben:
    Ek dink ook Wimpie van der Walt het groot potensiaal

    Ben on 22 March 2014 at 4:57 pm

    Hehhe, Bulle op die aanval, Fouche gooi die bal in Leeu speler se hande, hoe lank nog gaan hul van die arme mens iets probeer maak wat hy nie is nie, ‘n rugbyspeler.

  • 25

    Ben on 22 March 2014 at 4:59 pm

    Fouche vang die bal, en gooi hom vir ‘n 2de keer in die Leeus se hande, dit is lagwekkend, ‘n sirkus.

    grootblousmile on 22 March 2014 at 5:02 pm

    OK, leaving the Vodacom Cup TV feed on SHD6 & SS6 and over to Ellis Park… for some good Super Rugby.

  • 27

    Puma on 22 March 2014 at 5:02 pm

    Pity Ellis Park is not full. That is such a intimidating stadium when full.

  • 28

    Ben on 22 March 2014 at 5:03 pm

    Fouche mis ‘n strafskop, telling nog 14-7 na 28 minute.

  • 29

    Scrumdown on 22 March 2014 at 5:03 pm

    Main grandstand bottom section ±90% full, so expect 18 – 20 000 crowd.

    Just looks empty when the stadium holds > 60 000.
