Lions get an ugly 5 Log points.
A 50+ score looked up for grabs when the Lions scored their bonus point try in the 31st minute. This however was not the case as their wheels came off after that. The Leopards started playing with more composure and made life difficult for the Lions at scrum time. The fact that the referee Mr. Jaco Peyper was also trigger happy did not help the Lions cause. Derick Minnie was penalized on numerous occasions for hands in the ruck when he was clearly doing nothing wrong.
A well improved Leopards team can feel unlucky for not getting more tries on the night. They deserved at least one log point out of this match.
That goes to show that you should make use of any opportunity that comes your way. This Leopard team will hold more of a challenge for visiting teams in this, the second half of the Currie Cup.
Both sides can take a few positives out of this match. The Lions dominated the Line outs and broke the line on numerous occasions. The Leopards looked dangerous when on the front foot and at scrum time.
The 5 Log points keeps the Lions semi-final hopes alive, but they will have to step it up a gear for the next match.

@Ed_the_Lion –
Se net jy het “dringende besigheid”
> Once there was three friends. An alcoholic, a chain smoker and a gay.
> They made a promise to God on their lives, that they will stop all their
> addictions.
The alcoholic will stop drinking, the chain smoker will stop smoking and
the
gay guy will turn straight. One day the three friends walked down the road
all longing for their addictions. The alcoholic saw a pub along the road
and
heard the music pumping, he decided to just go and see how it is. He
eventually took a drink and collapsed (he died). The two remaining friends
walked further down the road, very sad about their friends death, noticed
a
burning cigarette laying in the road. The smoker couldn’t resist, but
before
he could bend to pick it up the gay told him…..
