Lemoenetyd
22 – 17 Landers
Halftime…
I’m affraid by the looks of it , it’s all over for the Lions…again… 🙁
reg ek is terug grootblou lyk my ek moet ook admin doen op vrydae…..
I picked the Landers by 18 on SuperBru and also to win with 48 / 30 on SportsPool Club…. well, we’re half way there, almost, so my prediction still looks goodish!
Scrumsaam
Lyk my daar gaan tot hulle “free” Coke… 😕
Well halftime Landers ahead by 5…who would’ve guessed…
Hoop nie die Leeus gaan nou net le nie…
Hel hulle moet erens hulle seisoen begin draai…
Bou ten minste bietjie confidense vir julle home games…
Blouste as die lions wen dink ek coke gaan uitverkoop word in die joburg area met al die brandewyn wat gaan vloei……
Three tries to one and five points down at halftime. Aint discipline a funny thing?. When you cant see it on the field you suddenly find it cropping up on the scoreboard.
123 – Blouste, Feel for this team. Really do. They should be well in the lead now. It is not over. Just a bit of really good defence mixed up with what they had been doing and they could still win this.
Second half about to start…
Interesting second half awaiting…
Can’t see Landers losing it from here
Hobbs het my “impress” die jaar…
Penalty count is maar 7 – 5 teen Lions volgens kommentators…
Dagg kicks another one
25 – 17 Landers
Obviously Landers penalties were almost all kickable…
124@ Scrumsaam – Yip, dit werk nogal goed om Vrydae Admin te doen….
Vanoggend moes my vrou, Handbriekie, rugbykleertjies aantrek werk toe… hulle het elke Vrydag ‘n ander tema… nou kyk, sy is ‘n Lions ondersteuner (maar een van daai wattie eers ‘n Lions Hempie het nie)…
Ek kyk toe so deur een verlepte ogie terwyl sy aantrek, en sien MYYYYYYY Bulls Super 14 jersey oppie stoel lê.
Maar toe sy klaar aangetrek het het sy toe so half-en-half ‘n Rooi Hemp aan.
Ek vra toe vir haar, “Nou wat van die Bulls hemp, jy sou so mooi in Bulls klere gelyk het!”
Sê sy vir my “Nee, ek kon dit nie oor my hart kry nie!”
Verbeel jou….. jussie ek het nog baaaaaaaaaaie werk met haar oor!
Line out for Landers on Lions 10m…
Dis nou een outjie wat ek net nie kan like nie is daai “hobbs” remind my aan daai burger outjie wat vir die cheetahs gespeel het net te windg@t…..
GBS dalk as jy haar met n paar bloues omkoop, kan dit werk….
Lions scrum inside Landers 22…
139 @ Scrumsaam – Sy’s nie maklik omkoopbaar nie, sterk ene daai…. maar sy word maklik sagter met genoeg wyn in….. hehehehe
Hi folks, just arrived….Wow Lions WERE leading at one point!! Wow….!!!

Lions moet net nie dink om vir Earl op te bring nie, ons wil darem ‘n close game tot die einde he.

Scrumsaa @138
