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!

Puma, Hellooooo….I’m ok thanks, how is Joberg or are you back in Umhlanga now?
Bad luck for the Sharks…..Was it painful to watch?
23 – Smallies, I know. Needed to leave Bissie on the bench. When John was at hooker it was going not too bad. Also Rory not getting his kicks over tonight. Ag, Sharks really not doing well. Cheetahs I feel could surprise some of the big teams. Good luck for the rest of the S14.
Now hoping Lions can beat the Chiefs here.
hi oom grootblou ons sal nog die koei scrum
27 – Carol, Still up in Joburg then back to Umhlanga in April probably for good. Hoping.
Not so bad watching my team. Just never had high hopes for them. So I suppose the loss does not hurt as bad as last week when I thought we could have won. Cheetahs deserved to win tonight.
