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.

@superBul – Ek loer so nou en dan in my maat.
93@Ed_the_Lion – Ek kyk, maar nie met 100% aandag nie…. het gewonder of jy nie die match summary wil skryf op hierdie selfde thread nie (soos ek gedoen het met die Boland / Kwas wedstryd).
Dis mos jou span
@grootblousmile – Ek sal so maak GBS. Sal jy net die scores update asseblief.

TMO
No try… Touch Judge report !
97@Ed_the_Lion – Ek maak so
Lions sal moet opskud om my Bru gelukkig te maak!
Hulle het so positief begin man… nou tjommel hulle
Hierdie Jaco Peyper het beheer verloor oor die wedstryd.
Try Ruan Boshoff
Mooi Ruan Boshoff. Jy moet altyd begin vir die Leeus.
Lions 31 / 6
Nog net 5 Punte deur die Leeus dan’s ek spot-on met Bru…
Try Basil De Doncker.. Leopards
Lions 31 / 13
Leeus kort nog 22 punte om in die 4de plek op te skuif.
Leeus gaan wen, maar hulle speel ma kakkerig.
Hierdie Jaco Peyper is ook lekker kak.
111@Ed_the_Lion – hy rook nie die peyp nie.
112@bdb – Jy vertel my.
Waar kom Ruan Boshoff vandaan, lyk asof hy weet hoe om rugby te speel.
Derick Minnie mag glad nie kompeteer vir die bal nie.
@bdb – Boshoff is goed. Jy weet presies van waaraf hy kom 😉
114@bdb – Seker maar ‘n Bull gewees….
Hehehe
Die Lions moet nou maar score vir my Bru man
@grootblousmile – Nie met hierdie Peyper ou nie.
Eishhhhhhhh, die Lions skrum is in reverse nou !!
WTF ??
