    Hello all I see the Scotland bound Waratahs winger Taqele Naiyaravoro scored a try for them against the Sharks. Been meaning to ask for the last month or so what are the thoughts here as to how good a player he is as the rumour was doing the rounds for a while that he was on his way.

    Looking forward to this one, and watching the best half-back pairing in SA in action again, not to mention the front row and Jaco Kriel!
    Cannot believe that this side came out of relegation merely two years ago, somebody is doing something right in Jozi!
    GO LIONS!!!

    Watching the Lions v SWD match now made me think of something…..It’s a quarter final, so the only thing that matters is a win.

    Lions lead by 8 with time up on the clock. SWD get a penalty after the hooter and start attacking like some crazy people, and the Lions defend like crazy. Why on earth?

    Lions players can injure themselves for no reason at all…..why not just walk off the pitch and let SWD run around with the ball and score if they really are that desperate?

    A win by 1 or 8 in a QF or SF is the same thing.

    Would make for good TV if the one team says, you go ahead and score if you really want, we won the game, we’re off and out of here 😆

    5 @ nortie:
    I said on the Vodacom Cup thread, no South Section side has qualified yet for the Semis.

    Think WP will be the only South Section team to qualify.

    They are playing at present against the Leopards XV, till to round-about 17:00?

    @ grootblousmile:
    15:30 kick off.

    The North seems to be the stronger section.

    I’m surprised that SWD actually got so close to the Lions….I picked the Lions by 24, thought they will run away with it

  • 9

    8 @ nortie:
    I also thought the Golden Lions would run away with the SWD.

    @ grootblousmile:
    Amazing how far Boshoff has fallen in less than a year…from SR savior to Vodacom Cup flyhalf

  • 11

    10 @ nortie:
    Yip!

    Jantjies has impressed me though, he and Faf de Klerk basically revived and saved the Lions last weekend!

  • 12

    WP 21-19 Leopards, current score

    Closer than one would have thought

    Jantjies is showing that you can go to Japan and actually improve your game, come back hungry for success in SA and boost your team….everything JPP is currently NOT showing unfortunately

    13 @ nortie:
    Yeah…

    I think Jantjies went through a bad dip when his dad died, then lost all confidence at the Stormers. Was the best decision for him to go clear his mind in Japan.
