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.

bdb 231 😆
Wat ‘n geploeter.
Van SA spanne lyk Bulle en Ctahs op hierdie stadium die beste.
lol, GBS, die laaste bietjie van die game gister aand het ek deur gegaap
😆
WP het nou te veel Bokke in die span, speel Bok rugby, orraait vir 60 min, dan voet op die brieke, wil my hare uit trek!
Moet se dat die Leeus nie gaan le het nie, niks afgestaan 2de helfte nie. Ook maar danksy mis skoppe deur Joe Peterson.
Nou gaan die een coach seker se wat JW altyd gese het ons het geleer.
Final score: Stormers 26 / 13
No Bonus Points for Stormers, no Log Points whatsoever for the lame Lions.
246 – GBS, At least the Lions kept Stormers from getting the Bonus point. So well done to them. They a new team building and I wish Lions all the best.

Over to the Sharks Thread
247@ Puma – Scant consolation…. after some serious boasting by Lions supporters, pre-season.
Bulls so far look the best SA team by far.
Now over to the Sharks thread.
6 from 6 for me in the SuperBru and R-T Comp…. this margin not bad, 1 out
I’ve now picked the Chiefs to win in Durban on Bru, but I want the Sharks to win, of course.
GBS you up brudda? Where is the crici thread?
We doing really well. See Petersen in for Prince and he has all ready got his 50.
