Tempers boiling over, few handbags
Penalty Lions, on halfway
Keegan en Flip vd Merwe lyk asof hulle probeer Bakkies se titel as die hothead van SA rugby oor te neem.
Jantjies misses
Who stands out as good players in this game?
Maybe Doppies & Jano so far?
Penalty Sharks… Jano and his flankers offside at the scrum
Old Odd-one also playing OK
Hello all!
Frantic side to side stuff but no real ground gained.

Hello Loskoppie
Impressed with the Lions defence
@ Loosehead:
middag loosehead
@ grootblousmile:
Hoezit ou maat!
Did you read that both Mitchell and Meyer have been approached by SNor to help with the Boks and they have both said no.
Penalty advantage Lions… penalty!
Jantjies hits the post, again
41@ Loosehead:
Heard that Kevin de Klerk said NO for Mitchell’s involvement.
Mvovo, the new Jonah Lomu of SA rugby, if PdeV does’nt take him on the EOYT, then his eyse are stuck behind his moustache.
Mvovo reminds me of OldGriqua in his heyday, speed and power, from the hips….
What a beautiful try
Try Taute, under the sticks…. Doppies did bloody well
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Lions.
Leeus !
HKGK, Leeuwens kook!!!
Lions 10 / 5
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyy Mvovo
What a player!
Goeie drie, Illovo !
MVOOOOOOVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Only one that seems to be running straight.
Foot in touch………………no try.
10 / 10
Nie ‘n drie gewees nie, hy was duidelik uit.
@ Loosehead:
The Lions supporters will remind us the whole week
Ja, foot touched touch, but the linesman was blind, try stands, unfortunately
Elton sal bietjie versigtig moet wees met sy back chatting van die Refs
