Penalty try Landers
Landers 39 / 17
So…
39 – 17 Landers and probably more to come… 🙁
Hel die klink nie goed nie nou gaan die lions defense tries lek soos n tweede handse koshuis geyser..
Ek se dit sonder enige sarkasme en met baie simpatie…
Dit moet verskriklik k@k wees om huidiglik ‘n Lions supporter te wees.
Al wat ek kan se kerels is ons Bulle weet ook hoe dit voel…
VASBYT !!!
Not 100% if that should have been a penalty try? What you all think? I think maybe that was a bit harsh by Dickinson.
Penalty Lions in Landers 22…
186 @ Puma – Harsh but deserved, I think
Maybe a bit harsh, but I reckon it would’ve come anyway Puma…
Come now Lions ,show some pride…
Penalty Lions, 5 out…
Hel die lions het so goed begin het hul van game plan verander of wat??
Earl Rose is hondkak !!!!!
Heard Mexted saying Sharks/Canes have another Aussie ref for their game tomorrow. They seemed not to think much of that ref. (Not sure who the ref is) Also on the NZ rugby programme last night, all the commentators were in doubt about the ref for the Sharks game tomorrow.
So hoping we okay with that ref. Sharks have had enough of bad refs for sure.
Yellow for Highlanders comeing up now?
Rose has such kak hands…. well, he is just plain kak!
I never realized they were going to be this kak…
Should be if the penalties continue… Consistancy ???
If I were in that Lions team Rose would get a proper “bakoond” after the game !!!!
Ek wonder of Earl Rose VIM snuif… want hy doen IETS wattie goed vir sy gesondheid kan wees nie!
Another scrum 5 out for Lions…
Come now !!!
Just skip Rose 😆
If Willa and Ed feels so strongly about the Lions I’d collect some money and have him assasinated. Or at least injured…
Try JP Joubert !!!
Bonus point try en Rose skop dit mis …Flok !!!
189 – Blouste, Lions need more than Dick Muir to turn it around for them. They have some good things going there, need plenty more descipline and defence. Feel for this team and their supporters, really do. Most of the Landers points have come from penalties. Discipline is a MUST for all teams really.
Who is the Lions defence coach?
Try JP Joubert… bonus point
Landers 39 / 22
199- hel bring jy nou memories terug ek het n paar gekry op skool vir laat kom by oefening…
39 – 22 Landers…
#204
They don’t have one, that is why I am so harsh on Muir…
Puma…Muir imo are part of the Lions problems…
But thats just my opinion…
