Lions (5) 26 / Reds (24) 41 (Final Score)
The Lions hosted the Reds at Coca-Cola Park, Johannesburg at 19:10 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. The Reds won comfortably by 41 / 26, after already securing their bonus point for four tries scored after only 17 minutes of play in the first half. They then took the foot off the pedal and allowed the Lions to come back at them… and when the lions were too close, they just stepped up a gear again to put the result out of doubt.

Wat meen jy?
Ek sal nooit daai kuk smaak van Luke Watson as WP-kaptein uit my bek kry nie…..ek het Supwrbul verlede jaar gese toe hy by my gekuier het, as daai ou kaptein word, dan waai ek…
Is dit Coke Park of Wanderers ?
40- Pietman, ek het dit ook so. My fraaie vroutjie kan ook nogal ‘n ou soppie aanmekaarsit as sy die dag haar kop tussen die plante in die tuin uit lig.
41- superBul, ek het dit ook so oor Van Veldze! Nog een om dop te hou is CJ Stander.
Soo sit ek en blog en doer loop druk die REDS sommer twee keer in die eerste 5 minute.
Iets se my daai CD gaan ‘n blank wees!
Not good this really, feel for the Lions supporters out there at the game.
No defence at all.
@69 Ek het so gedink 🙂
Daasie meer Coke in die Coke Blik nie!

nice play Lions, get some confidence going.
Daai nr.11 vleuel van die Leeus is 5 meter lank maar weeg net 11 kg ! Kan nie so super rugby speel nie.
Genia en Cooper is seker nou die beste skakelpaar in die wereld
Kom hier dalk 80 punte??
Die Leeus se Fordjie het bearings geslaan…
Spencer het ‘n shocker so ver
