Goooooooooo Lions!
Fly right past them.. on Emirates, of course!
Scotland team to face Wales announced no time to do article now. Sean Lamont starts for injured Tommy Seymour and Geoff Cross for Euan Murray. Backs Greg Tonks and Matt Scott on the bench and prop Jon Welsh on bench are the other changes, with Peter Horne going back to play for Glasgow against Zebre, Dougie Fife missing out after coming off bench last week .
Leeeuuuwens!!!!
I better go buy some Kameeltjies & Cooldrink before the rugby starts!
Back just now!
East stand is starting to fill up, but I don’t think there will be more tan 11 – 13 000 here tonight.
A great pity because the tickets were REALLY priced to sell.
One section of the North stand looks like an EFF convention with ±100 youngsters all in red boiler suits.
I hope they don’t stop the game and ask the ref’ for a point of order if the ‘Canes score.
Could just cause their expulsion!

Not a good time to stop?
Just met up with my nephew from a previous marriage.
The youngster works for the hospitality company that handles things for Vodacom at all of the SR games.
Shyte, I remember feeding him whisky when he was about 6 months old ’cause he wouldn’t stop bawling.
OK, I’m baaaack!
Vark. I see Pro Legoete is running the line.
I would put money on him having an influence on the outcome of this game.
This should be a very good game, perfect conditions, the Lions play a nice brand of rugby and enjoy having a run, the NZ teams generally like having a run.
Could be lots of tries and can be decided on one great defensive effort.
Changed my mind 3 times with trying to predict a winner here
Fark, I forgot to buy condensed milk… will have to go raid the house cupboards for it when I get withdrawal symptoms… hehehe

I agree with you, 2 neutral Aussies and Pro. I’m sure he will be trying to get his 15 seconds of fame at some stage
Canes have a new coach this year… they might just fire from the word GO!

Lions concede a penalty just outside Canes 22.
@ Scrumdown:
Looking forward to seeing new boy Marx in action…
Canes penalty, over the ball… kick to touch from deep in their half
Is it my imagination or do the Canes seem a bit jaded?

He’s normally quite lively at hooker!

He is a BIG boy.
Lions penalty, high tackle on Ross Cronje… deep in the Lions half, kicked to touch, out on halfway
