The Lions hosted the Stormers at the “Coke-Tin” late this afternoon. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game was broadcast on SuperSport 1 in SA on TV.
The Stormers had a good First half, scoring all their points and clearly overshaddowed the Lions in the Fist Half. The Second Half was different, only 7 points coming in the whole half, the Lions always playing catch-up. In the end the Stormers won comfortably, 26 / 13. No bonus points was earned for tries.
All in all, the game was a dour affair.

Puma – hadnt even thought of the bonus point, that is a big nono.
I think they should replace the Lions with the Spears, can not be more embarassing!
King Carlos injured / replaced
Lions now with possession but the Stormers are defending well
AB shame man that is cruel, they have most proberly all been upset about whats happening with that Reyneke tool.
TMO – held up
Lions lyk baie beter met Queen Carlos van die veld af.
Maar Stormers verdedig mooi, ek voel egter ‘n drie vir die Lions wat gewag om gedruk te word.
3 de drie wat goed gekeer is die naweek
COME ON LIONS !!!!!!!
Brilliant defense from Stormpompies
Outstanding defence!
KP ek sien daai kant het gaan polse sny , niemand wil met jou praat nie.
Stormers really did well there
Very good run by the Stormers from inside their 22…
If the Bulls and the Stormers play good rugby then the Boks are always good! I like this Stormies!
Chavanga is a light-weight
Is that Chavanga down injured
GBS, what happened to our friend K9??
I can understand refs wanting to let the game flow, but some of the penelties for not rolling away I’ve seen this weekend, jeez, tuff call, unless they make like Houdini
Mooi knieg gekry in ribbes
Moet erken Bekker lyk goed op vleuel, weet nie hoekom hul vir Habs gekoop as hul reeds so goeie vleuel het nie ?
198@ AB – Blykbaar nie gehou van wat ons oor die Lions te sê gehad nie…. toe waai hy
Loserer 😆
n Paar gat wippers het soos rokkof gemaak
GBS 😉 lyk my die Leeu mannetjies se egos is maar taamlik fragile, ek hoor netnou dieselle oor ou Ed??
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!
AB, dis net Stormer/WP supporters wat dik velle het
😆
I wonder how well things are going on wetalk[lions]rugby?
205@ AB – As mens wil kan uitdeel, moet jy kan vat ook…
Hoe kan mens die Lions anders beskrywe as ‘n Sirkus, vertel my?
En natuurlik ons Bulle ook teen die tyd, niemand kry so baie K@k soos ons nie!
