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.
It is the 2nd time already this season that the Lions allow 70 points against them and they are now 5 games down from a possible 5.

Lions have made the Sharks look good against the tahs last week, anyway am going this is boreing and depressing and am going to have fun doing a diy patch job on a pipe that burst outside the kitchen this morning, just has to last till tomorrow.ANY ONE GOT ANY BUBBLEGUM FOR ME 😆
Puma. Sharks can win tomorrow. Think i might back them on Superbru, but i am not too sure. Going to be tough for them. Esp. with the bad luck refs they get.

Shame…dis ‘n vernedering !!!
How’s this for one-eyes reporting…
“The Lions actually have a very real chance of upsetting the bookmakers on Friday and their backline possesses far more pace and creativity than their Australian counterparts. Carlos Spencer will be marking the occasion with his 100th Super Rugby appearance and I expect him to have an absolute blinder.
Trying to put my bias aside and seriously looking at the peak points of both teams, I honestly predict that the Lions will run out as emphatic victors. A bonus point win for the Lions and a winning margin of over 10 points. Kick off is on Friday morning 10:40am (SA time)”
Ek dink nie die ou moet ooit weer ‘n rugbyartikel probeer skryf nie!
Mmmmm… Die Lions gaan weer n Barshou teen die Bulls speel.
Wat is dit met hulle en in n mindere mate deesdae die Cheaters?
