Waratahs (33) 73 / Lions (5) 12 (final score)
The Waratahs hosted the Lions at the Sydney Football Ground, Sydney at 10:40 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. The Waratahs really punished a very dismal Lions effort, scoring 11 tries in the process.

Dont mess with me Philly ,BORN IN THE USA ,BORN IN THE USA am singing
just want to say that the Lions had a much better game when Burton Francis was playing 10…..I feel that he should be playing and getting much needed experiences with oupa Carlos on the bench…..he should be there to mentor the youn un’s
Weet nie hoekom kies Muir vir Carlos en nie vir Francis nie…
Seker erens in sy kop vasgehak dat Carlos goed gespeel het toe hulle nog teen mekaar gespeel het so…wat, 20 jaar terug 😆
Tahs are toying with the Lions…

No the best rugby by the lions but i think they playing with a lot of heart, which i admire.
