Lions 65 (25) vs Chiefs 72 (27) (final score) – Game Thread

Published 19 February 2010 | By grootblousmile

The Lions hosted the Chiefs at Coke a cola Park, Johannesburg tonight. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game is broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. In a try fest, with both teams scoring 9 tries each, the Chiefs won 72 / 65. The Lions earned 2 Log Points from the match and the Chiefs of course earned a full 5 Log Points. Eventually it was quite comical how the tries flowed because there was just no semblance of defence from either team.

I doubt whether in history there has been such a high scoring Super 14 game, with a full 137 points scored in total!

Lions: 2 Penalties & 6 Conversions Earl Rose, 3 Tries Wandile Mjekevu, 1 Try Todd Clever, 1 Try Carlos Spencer, 1 Try Doppies Le Grange, 1 Try Tonderai Chavanga, 1 Try Cobus Grobbelaar, 1 Try Jacques Lombaard
